See you guys down there

Mark

We've been down there the last three years and your boats always look great. See ya again this year too.

Please stop by, 4 cigs this year, running tuesday with a few stops along the way. Getting them sooo clean to soak in salt water for 9 days.....

Sure will. Flying down the 1st. and staying at the Galleon. That has to be a blast running down. Its on my bucket list. Where do you guys launch at?

Not bringing the boats but cant wait to check out your sweet rides. We will be in KW on Wednesday

To say that these two boats are clean is an understatement. They make the new stuff they are parked next to at the Galleon look bad.

We thank you very much for the kind words. It is a labor we love.

I call my spot!

Thats #3 of the 4 we have running:-).
(.)(.)
Is that one of them 45 boats????

Half 90������

i always enjoy looking at your boats, they are beautiful and the detail is extraordinary! see you down there

Looking forward to seeing you guys down there on Tuesday! We will be leaving Tampa early Tuesday morning and plan on being in KW by 2-2:30. Trailer is already loaded and sitting in Sarasota ready for pickup!

Great news, we will be in same slips as years past. Come over or we will see ya in the race pits

Couple of badA$$ macheens right there! Have fun.

Looking good as always! Have fun! One day mine will be together for the trip.

Wow you guy's set the bar high for cleannnnnnnnnnnnnn. Spent 2 hrs in the bilge the other day, looks like I need more elbow grease. Have a great run !! I thought about launching there as well.

Keeping these last century boats clean and running good is truly a labor we love !

more pics please

So thats how you change the starters . My ass ain't fitting in there.

The secret to getting your engine compartment to look like Zero Patience's Top Gun.
1. Plenty of micro fiber rags.
2. Plenty of Mother's Billet polish.
3. Plenty of Rum!

Damn it I knew I forgot something...........item #3....not!

I have never been to the Florida Keys. I would love to take my Cigarette Top Gun and explore the Keys for a week before I sell it. The problem is that I have no idea where to launch, where to go, etc. It would be nice to have a plan from you expert Florida guys. Even different places to stay and park your boat every night. It would be even better if there was a group to do this with. Any ideas? Maybe I'll keep my boat after all.

You might as well keep it, according to some on here that don't own them any more, they are not worth anything anyway. :food-smiley-007:
We Can recommend great places to launch, store the truck and trailer, stay, eat, lunch run, snorkel, and enjoy the boat. The keys are a blast to run thru, which is why we go 5 days early to play in the upper and middle keys. We lunch run each day and I will post pics each day of our stops so you can follow along if you like. November is usually rough, and windy, but still fun. February to April is nice. Pm me if you want info.

That's good to hear. I bought a place on Cudjoe Key and all I keep hearing is sell the Sonic and buy a CC. When I bring it down I'll contact you.

Is it to live for good?

If so then the powerboat life might get old down there full time and as your only boat. If it is a vaca and fun stop, keep the beast.

Part time use for the next couple of years. Sonic is paid for but unfortunately the house isn't so don't want to buy CC just yet. Lift is already in and sized to handle future boats.

Need closer shot- Nice view for sure. I think some Larger Tabs are needed lol

Amazing boat you have Mr, wrote many many times. Glad it went to another good home. PM me if you know any of your friends looking for another "90MPH" model as we have one.

I would hold on to it then. No need to jump the gun at all.

Lol.....glad I am not the only one.

Glad you made it down safe

Can't wait to leave Chicago in the a.m. We got winds to over 60mph today and 20'+ waves on Lake Michigan and a little snow flurries to boot

Mark

Wow, i will not complain about the wind now
