Ah, Bryan you're giving me seller's remorse!

The perfect size and rarity of the 33's is hard to beat. What you're doing to that boat is going to be nothing short of awesome!

Many of the same reasons mentioned already. My wife's response when I asked her this question tonight.... "Cigarette powerboats are just sexy, who doesn't want sexy?" I think that sums it up!:evilb:

Funny, just the kind of comment HD types make about more modern, better engineered bikes. I have nothing bad to say about Cigs, loved the one I had, and admire their lines and the brand - it's just too bad that the entry level price has dropped to ten grand or so and the manners of some owners have dropped with it. Come to think of it, I go to a lot of exotic car functions and I've never heard a Ferrari owner say any other exotic sucks.

Calm down, dry your eyes, you need a tissue?... OLs are nice boats. IT was mostly a joke. You seem very important - you go to exotic car functions - WOW!!! Where are you now the polo club?

Can't help it if my eyes water when I look over the windshield at speed - and yes, that does often lead to the need for a tissue...but not to wipe my face!:eekdrop:

Hahahaha!...nice

Cigarette really set the bar, they created the market and it was the brand promotion that made it a house hold name. I love all the offshore boats I think some are better then others and some do certain things better. With that being said I love how the Cig looks when it is sitting at the dock it just draws you in. I have seen little kids to grandmothers taking in by them it's just the way it is.

There is something about a Cig, even though mine doesn't have the killer paint job, just kind of a classy look it made the cover of the upcoming Sportboat Magazine and trust me there were some amazing looking boats at Desert Storm. Hell i bet my entire boat didn't cost as much as some of the paint jobs on other boats.

That's pretty cool. Yea! I can't see them putting a Baja on the front cover. LOL

If you are going to do comparisons, comparing a Cig to a Harley is just not accurate. The Cig has always been built very well.The newer ones, have even better build quality and craftmanship, almost Bentley like.
So, what would that make Ol? I would compare older ones to Lambo (before Audi took over)and newer ones to Lambo( after Audi took over). Quality much improved and consistent with a lower production hand built item.

Yeah but they talk trash about the American Icon cars.... And I personally think Ferrari's and Lambo's are ugly slow mofo's

BTW what does pasta cars and your boat have to do with this thread???? If you want someone to kiss your ass go to the OL forum.....

Pretty sure he wants us to know that he is the best, his Ducati is the best, he has an exotic car and hangs out with guys with Ferraris and lambos and that his OL is so awesome it makes him have an accident in his pants.

Why come on a Cig thread and talk about how great your OL is? Doesnt make sense. If we were OL lovers we wouldnt own Cigarettes.

a Cigarette is just dead sexy, it doesnt matter what year or model. Its a "Cigarette"... If you dont have one, you want one. Nuff said

Awww, thanks, buddy! Come to think of it, no, YOU are the best! Next beer is on me!:evilb:

OH DAMN!!! This whole time I thought he was talking about a Baja Outlaw (OL). :lolhit: I was saying to myself..........Self my Hallett is a heluva lot nicer than a Baja!!!:eekdrop:

Just took delivery of my 39 TGU on 7/4. Replaces my 382 Foumula with 500 EFI and boxes. Must say the Cig rides way better than the Formula on Lake Erie. I thought the Formula rode well, but the Cig rides better at 10-15 mph faster. Even my wife, who would prefer a 39 Sea Ray, thinks it rides better. Having said that, the boat takes more effort to drive than the Formula and wanders so much at idle that I look like a drunk. As for performance it is really fast the formula was 77 -78 80 for the Cig 80 is a casual push of the throttle and so far 97 is as fast as I have had it. I'm sure with a little work and a little more chop I'll be in the tripple digit club.

which one is it?? been to KI? I am there every weekend saw a few 39's lately come to casino....any pics??

The green and blackand silver one parked next to the red one on Sunday

OH! 2 buds and I were standing at the end of the dock when you came in, we were wondering why we never saw that Cig before, looks sweet with the green and silver!! your buddy knows my friend Sky...

I will come say hi when I see you again, I got the 85 Mistress my buddy Tommy has my twin..his is 86

Ok sounds like a plan. Going to miss this wekend got a wedding, but will be up next weekend and probably stop by the Casino.

I am only up Friday this weekend, next weekend I should be around....

Sharp boat! I checked it out over the past weekend when it was on the lift. My brother inlaw owns a condo in the Harbor. Its Kinda ironic. I saw it brand new at both the NYC and Atlantic City Boat Show when Ocean had it for sale...

Drop the tabs all the way down at idle and it wont wander so much.

Ok back on task what is it about a cig??

Its a life style ; )

Thanks I'll try that next week

Here we go bashin Baja. I have a 99 36 outlaw that was on lake ozark then on michigan all it's life with no stress cracks and a way better cabin and cock pit than a top gun. By the way the 36 outlaw was splashed from a Cig if you didn't know.
I've always liked the 38 top gun but not enough space. :party-smiley-004:

94 Top Gun
 

Nice 94 Top Gun Just went up for sale in New Hampshire on Power boat listing if anyones looking

I had. 32 Baja....now have a 35 cig.... I loved my Baja and I beat the fuk.out.it...but the cig destroys it in big water....fit and finish... the wiring.g alone speaks for itself... no comparison.....sorry.......space or ride quality...I will take the ride.... :)

Your old 320 force is nothing like the 36 outlaw, I took 2 topguns out last year (94 and 98) both real nice clean boats (and both still for sale), I have to admit the engine compartment was done real nice but as for as fit and finish for the rest of the boat it's the same. I've never had any problems with either Baja I had. Built with same parts, hand laid fiberglass, bolsa core in bottom and sides,plexus bonding for hull to deck with threw screws, 502mpi, Gaffrig gauges, Mcleod electric seats,Kiekaefer controls, Vacuflush toilet, Custom paint in gel coat,snap in carpet, s.s rub rail,heavy duty pop up cleats, a/c and Ref which Cig doesn't have, both are actual size listed unlike fountain and formula.I know Cigarette has a great hull and that's why I origanally looked at them but 36 OL has more cockpit space , cabin is set up better and Cig designed the hull. Just Doesn't say Cig. I know alot of people like to trash Baja but thier build process is the same as the others, they just built more boats than all the others. Lower costs =sell more boats=best selling performance boat ever. Cig will always be #1 just like Harley but their are other options. Baja has a huge following.:party-smiley-004:

94 Top Gun
 

If it's Gordon's your talking about a forum member has already bought it.

Nice. Were's he going to boat with it?:evilb:

The boat is here in CT. He will be using it in Long Island Sound. The funny thing is the boat was sold new here from Ocean Performance. Now about the Baja stuff I had one 10 years ago and it was a great boat. No stress cracks no issues what so ever I loved that boat, but truth be told once I went for a ride in a Cigarette in rough water I had to have one. It is that simple the ride won me right over. The Baja has a much bigger cockpit and is probably a more user friendly boat, it is definitely better hangin out on it. But when it comes to the ride quality it is Cigarette hands down IMO.

I looked at your 35 last year as well when on the hunt for a bigger boat (nice paint job) but wasn't big enough. I suppose with a 42 tiger I would have no complaints about room but still don't get why they never had more cockpit space to hang around in.

I am not trashing Baja at all... I have a few friends that worked there as I am local to where they were built.... both are great boats...but the Baja is not built as strong and yes has the space which I do miss but the ride is better I don't care whT...there is a reason figs cost 3x in more in most cases.... I did have old 320 yes... and that was one of the best and heaviest hills they made... ask Baja guys... and my cig docks it in big lake Erie slop.....I never said bajas were junk....

Relax
 

Relax. Just messing win the outer limits guys. I do know the outlaw came out of the older cig molds.

Ok back on task. I would love for Baja owners to defend their boats but this is a forum about What is it about a Cigarette?!!! I don't know what goes on on the Baja thread but I'm sure it is just titillating conversation about how great they really are. Great!! Cigs is what I want to hear about !!!!!

Agree. Nothing against Baja or Baja owners. I also like some of the Baja builds but this is a Cigarette discussion as to why folks like the Cigarette brand. Let's not compare, it does not help anyone out, especially Baja. :party-smiley-004:
