Congrats Dennis, I had no idea this boat was 6 miles from my house. it really is a time capsule boat. Bobby B and I looked at it and I crawled around with a hammer checking it. The cabin is all original and the headliner looks perfect no sag at all, bilge is the cleanest I have seen in a boat of this age, little details like all the clamps turned the same way no oil leaks or gas pool marks on the manifolds, just a great barn find.

Okay boys... After much searching for what seems to be the "right" boat, I've joined the cult of Cigarette owners.... Having been a long fan of "old school" boats, I've finally found what I believe is the one for me. She may not have all the equipment that everyone thinks she should have, but she is mine now..... I am looking forward to many days on Lake Erie with her, and enjoying every day in the sun.... Thanks to Offshore Drilling, Glass Dave, and motocop for all the support... Offshoredrilling is the king! Took time out of his schedule to help an OSO member out....Thanks for everything!

Thanks Bobby! I appreciate your help as well... I know that this cut into your "beverage tour" that day, so I hope it didn't ruin the weekend for you... LOL!

Thanks! I owe you for going to look at that one an hour away from you as well! He finally did sell it I saw... Went to someone from Georgia or NC I think... The guy was going to rebuild her and take it to FL or something....

Nope it just kept us out of the bar a little longer which was smart. I did make up for lost time once we got there. lol
