The 24 is coming together nicely... Will be in the water by June;)

I have a 1972 20 ft Cig. that I think was 1 0f 3 boats actually manufactured in 1971 but the HIN plate list it as a '72. It also list the boat at 20 ft but it true measures less then that. I was told that was done because of a govt. regulation that became effective in 1972 that required boats less then 20 ft to have flotation foam in the hulls and just changing the length on the HIV plate got around that requirement. This is just hearsay so any information would be greatly appreciated.

I pulled my boat out of Lakeside Restoration - They charged me $83,000 and it still needs major work and I dont even have the engine,drive and steering yet. I truly got ripped off here.

and how many years did it sit at lakeside??

They'd have to take me to court to get that kind of money. NO WAY they could spend that and not finish.
