Project X
 

Well Cigarette brothers Project X has officially begun. Just returned from Miami where we placed our 42X order with Cigarette. What an experience. We got to work in Cigarette's new Design Center, this was amazing. Cigarette has really raised the bar when it comes to designing a custom performance boat. When we built our 2011 Top Gun the process took several visits to the factory over a 30 day period, we actually accomplished 90% of Project X in 4.5 hours.

Power will be the 1100QVC4v / M8. :drool1: Will be working thru several renderings over the next several days before graphics are finalized. We're working toward an April delivery.

My goal is to share the entire build process here on OSO under this thread.

Stay tuned!

Gary

Wow Gary....Congratulations!!!! Really looking forward to it....

Looking forward to doing some wishful thinking through your order.

Wow! That's awesome man. Loved your 39. Can't wait to see the. 42.

What a nice experience ordering a new boat must be!!!!

Congrats man. Must be a great experience to build a new one

Congrats man, can't wait to see it.

When we toured the factory last year they went over the process of how they build and design. Def seemed custom and very efficient.

Very cool experience I am sure and count me in for bookmarked.

Congrats on the new purchase! Great call going with the 42x over the 39.

Awesome that is got to be fun to build on your terms. Colors???

Yes. FINALLY. A cig build worth following and seeing the outcome. Also, something to look forward to over the winter. Sorry 39U. I think I got a little more excited than you. Congrats. Cannot wait to see some update pics. CONGRATS AGAIN!!

Congrats bud! gonna be a bad azz ride!!! bring it to KI this summer???

Congratulations! I love the 42 and look forward to following your build.

So Cool Gary !!! Thanks for sharing !

Can't wait to see it. Congratulation on the new boat and thanks for sharing... again

Awesome Gary...... we'll have to drag our Cig out to Florida again and meet up with you!!! ...... a mini rendezvous ....

That would be awesome Tom! We had a blast at the last Rendezvous.

Thanks all. It will take a while to get pictures to post I suspect boat will go to the mold this coming week. Hope to have graphics to post this coming week.

Here's a picture from the Cigarette factory lobby:

Congrats! Love the 42X and look forward to your build!!

Congrats Gary!!!!

congrats it must be exciting, out of curiosity why not 1350s

Nice choice !! I really look forward to following the process. Congrats !

Will iit have a lot of red like your 39? Can't wait for the pics

1350's are a waste of money in the 42X! They are plenty fast with the 1100's and you can run 89 octane.

Congratulations Gary!!!!

Great question. Really considered 1350's, three primary reason's 1) fuel, 1100's run on 89 octane. Non-ethanol 89 is easy to come by on most lakes, 93 not so much. 2) Engine life. 3) 42 X with 1100's put boat in targeted WOT speed range.

I'm a loyal OSU Buckeye fan so Scarlet & Gray will be primary theme.

congrats!

Congrats Gary!

My friend Bob has a 42x with 1100's and the boat is an animal. Easily 125mph boat and that is plenty fast for a V! It eats up the big water like nothing!

Can't wait to see the build!

Congrats, should be a cool build to watch. Always like the 42x, great choice on the 1100s.

Thanks for letting us all know we're still in the poor house.

How much of a price difference between the 1100 and 1350 with the same drive

Didn't price 1350's but I don't think it's that much more. Fuel was the issue with me. Love the fact that the 1100's take 89. Slightly less radical as well.

I rode in a 1350 42X in 2013 and never really got over it. We were at the Cigarette rendezvous was offered a ride during the lunch event. Was so impressed after the ride I had Legendary Marine load my 39 TG back on the trailer.

Boating with 89 octane will be much more enjoyable

I read somewhere that, the life span between overhauls of they 1100 is more than double of they 1350, that is also something to consider.

1100's are the better and smarter choice.
