First pick looks like the Casino. Seen it there before and its a beautiful boat. The only boat restor done by owner that may compare to this is Frickstyles. BTW Frick, please finish it soon. You and Jbonz hold the record for boat restorations.

Heck I was just wondering where its already winter, them trees look pretty damn bare. Is that in Alaska :confused: . . . . :D lol hey good luck with it though.

thats not a restoration thats an improvement on a classic

That's just damn classy!!! Nice boat.

Yea the Silver 36 Cig is a Work of Art but Phils Cafe is a Master Piece\\

Piece of What has yet to be determined:evilb:

Oh it's a piece alright.

Here's Tim & Kevin's teaser pic, they cant post the picture from the road, so they asked me to, safe travels guys, beautiful piece.

I have a buddy thats gonna post a teaser pic for Kevin and I. I cant post pics from my phone. I thought I did once before tho but now it wont let me

You guys dropping it by Upstate Restorations for paint 1st thing?

Umm gonna have to say the paint is staying the way it is

And our barn find only has 120 original hours on her. She doesn't need restoration

Some boats can't change, too bad the chief is... But oh well

Kevin & Timmy, The boat looks nice can't wait to see it in person. Have a safe trip back talk to ya later!

Full Force, The Chief was perfect, I had to just make it my own. I'm confident in my masculinity however the pink was making me walk a fine line lol! I'll post picks soon if interested.

I was looking at the chief years ago. Great boat at a steal when I saw it. But I'm happy where I'm at with a bayliner
Hopefully my bondo will last longer then Phil's lifting blistered boat

Midas apache! Bad azz! Did someone buy it from the guy over seas? I thought Lipship just did some work on it recently.

Hey tank... cig92 and I bought the boat.

Congratulations Tim, I am very happy for you guys. This boat is big time, can't wait to see what you guys do with it.

you bought it? Sweet! Yea rob toyed with ideas of painting it when he had it but he couldn't do it, even though we called it the gay buffalo hunter haha

That is the boat that made me fall in love with The 41 apache, best riding boat I ever been on.... Clifford was right there, but Clifford was full of bulkheads like Tim's apache... Best two boats for though water in my opinion

Send some pics of The Chief when you are done please

Ahhhhh memories.... some real good times in The Chief....

Congrats you guys!

Did you guys but it from the guy over seas? It was over in Germany (I think) for a bunch of years. Came back a few years ago and needed a lot of cosmetic and engine work. Pretty sure Phil (Lipship) got it and addressed the issues. Not a full Lipship redo just helping the owner fix some things. Boats bad. In a pretty major scene of the movie all about the Benjamin's. :D

I bet that's what it's all about good times and meeting good people, nice pics! I will post some pics in a couple weeks the paint is about 80 percent done. I'm looking forward to enjoying it also.

Sweet 41 But yea that paints a little tough to swallow Unless your gay. Butt hey I am not saying there is anything wrong with that


Can.t wait to see the new paint on it . What you have in mind for it?

Thats the funny part, that paint is one thing that makes that boat so well known, but times change I guess... such a sweet boat though, when my buddy had it he spent thousands making things as perfect as he could, wish he coulda finished it before selling..

That 41 had 3As and 850? If I remember that correct. Again it was a few years ago when I saw it listed on OSO.

Yes solid 84-85 mph when Rob had it, the wicks could be turned up to do 900+ easiky he kept it "reliable" and it was very reliable for him

Back on topic still still can't do a boat correctly. As no matter how much you throw at it, with out knolage and talent it's still a turd

I still wanna see more pics of the gun he must be embarrassed to post them

It will never be done, just got SSM Vs, tack on another year for this puppy!!!

BTW - these are for sale:

Those Konrads work with the power you have! I'm going to run my Konrads till we swap to 6's. Plus Joe is building some 1500's for my boat! Will swap to 6's and bigger power at the same time, might be a year or so but it's in the works and engines are being built. Just need to find some Quad rotor whips now!!

Wow, that will be one baddass machine! I just couldn't stomach spending for #6s on this hull, and I did consider it I told myself it would be time to move to a better hull before I did that, newer boat, or something else like a big Sport Fisher. Did you consider Arnesons? I did, but it was about the same as #6s, and was told the handling wasn't as good on the hulls as SSMs.

I do not think Konrads would have lasted behind 1050-1100 hp the way I would like to drive it. They would have lasted with what I had, with the 8-71s, but not now, too much torque. I want to be able to abuse this thing and enjoy it, not keep it in the water. Good luck with the build, post up pictures or add to your other thread, love the detail and explanations.

I could probably up the power with bigger carbs, more fuel/boost, etc. Not sure if they will crank 1500hp. But aren't you going to have to run super high octane? Or just monster cubes, turbos, what? Details please.......

Wow they look good!! Will they bolt up to a Trs transom ? How much $?

Congrats on the new acquisition Bullet. Your putting a hell of a nice portfolio together.

They will be 93 octane up to 1500 & 1800+ with race fuel! I wanted a newer boat but the wife loves this thing so we plan to keep it for a long time!

Engines are 588ci, Tall Blocks with all Calies USA parts in them & Brodix Head Hunter Heads. We are going EFI with Quad Rotor Whipples.

Plan to get the engines built first then work on finding some 6's!

1500's!!!! Jesus! In a straight bottom Cig? :D


Seriously though, What point do you run out of hull with a straight bottom Top Gun? Has anyone ever put that much power in one?

I would rather have a top gun than a mistress!!! Not to mention I also have two daughters and I would never post their pics on this website! Maybe I would if they were my step daughters!!RBPO!!!
