Lucky Strike,

Your old boat appears to still be in it's original factory setup (unmolestered engines & drives) and as CigaretteSam said, "Very clean and good shape for it's year". I tried to contact the seller, but no answer on this labor day weekend. I'd like to drive up to see it and wondered if you might answer a few questions, if you don't mind. Would the sellers description of it being "Delivered to lake of the ozarks where it lived for 10 years and then was put in storage for 10 years" be accurate? .....Your the original owner and just want to see if there history jives straight with you. If you need to PM me please do................"I'd definately reunite the canopy with the boat if it were mine!.......................Thanks, Scippy

I believe the seller is correct. I bought it used in about 1995 & sold it a few months later.
Martin Marine picked it up & delivered to the customer.

Does anybody know what a Stainless frame Bimini top would be worth in good shape?
Most people have aluminum frame tops, but anything you get from Cigarette is top of the line.

As far as the 420's not having enough power.
I believe a Hawk 525 engine is nothing but a stock 420 with a B&M 174 blower.

I had those Hawk engines in a 1991 Top Gun ( The Pink Flamingo ) for those of you that remember my boat. It was a carbon fiber gun and ran in the mid 70's with stock hawk 525's & TRS drives

Here are a few pictures from the Manhasset Bay Poker Run I took.......like I said before, very clean and in good shape for its age, and at the price of 26k, i'd say its a great deal! Not many Cig's in that size range for that price!

I would say unless its rotted (I BET ITS NOT) it is a great buy for that kind of money, not many Cafe's under 30,000 period, I say with 420's should run 60-63 depending on water, but the Cafe rides great and thats a swwet ride for that kind of money, remember its all about rot, if you buy another boat and it needs a ton of hull work that most do, you will easily drop 5-10,000 rebuilding hulls...

I dont see much rot in even older Cigs, usually just transom and thats normally from someone drilling to add stuff and not sealing holes right..
