Information on the history of this Cig
 

I'm wondering if anyone knows any history or recognizes this Cig...

There was a couple painted like that. One sat for a long time and was pretty beat up. Another Phil re did about 6 years ago and was SUPER clean. The one Phil did had 525EFI's I think. But it was upgraded with the plexus white stuff in the cabin instead of the wood. Get some cabin and engine shots and you'll be able to tell which one.

I added a few more photos above

That's not the lip-ship re-do.

That boat is in Port Washington at LaMotta's.

How old are those pics, because IIRC, the drives are not on it anymore.

And its been dry docked for a few years.

It sold for 45k. Its been sitting for more than a few years!

Wow really!!?? Yea, it's been sitting for way more than a few years. I remembered it sitting with out drives a loooooong time ago but figured this couldn't be the same boat because of how long ago I saw it sitting like that. That's a shame.

Sorry, can't remember the last time i left Lamotta's Sober.

Is it still in the lot?

I am the 1 that brought it up in Port Washington.
Rumor has it that it was sitting since 2003(and as per paid for work found on the boat and in the files) ... Due to some form of legality is with the government or something to that affect not sure .I got it a few months ago and it was still shrink dropped and winterized from a few years back.

I have since started re building and refurbishing everything. believe it or not everything was in real good condition. The transom and the hull was in in packable condition, no corrosion out of the ordinary , and no soft spots anywhre.
What I thought was going to be a little TLC has turned into a full blown marriage. ( it always does doesn't it),
The reason I ask in reference to history now after the fact,is that it is like a box of chocolate and the curiosity is killing me. Also it is very hard to get any history on any work or issues done with this Cig. Everything seems to be 1 big mystery.
So I was actually hoping other than the storage info that someone might have some insight or new the previous owner Robert. .:poopoo:

I've got no info, but would like to see the renovation.
Start a new thread.

restoration has begun. in the coming days will be posting a new thread with some of the beginning of updates.
