Joining the cult.....
 

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!

Congrats Nice Boat! I have seen that exhaust system in the past. Can't place it, who was the manufacture? Thanks and have a blast.

Sorry my AT&T service sucks. I didn't mean to post twice. Joke them LOL

Congrats, nice looking ride!! I finally got mine a little over a year ago. After what seemed like an eternity of wanting one. You will pinch yourself for a while, thinking its a dream but it's not!! Congrats!

Cult... Lol
So true.

Cult member for 25 years.

Nice ride. Enjoy.

Congrats Man! I was wondering when I got the text... Wish I wouldn't have missed that call. Cant wait to hear more about it.. Really happy for you. Sandusky bay Channel will become your favorite place to roll thru..... Now we just need to get Pat in the Formula.... :)

Jr.

She`s a beaut Clark!

I meant no harm with the "cult" remark... I'm just as big a fan as you all are! Thanks for the welcome!

Thanks JR.! I was getting on the plane when I sent that text to you... It was a very hurried trip to check her out in person... We've got plenty of time to chat. When you called me Saturday, I was just pulling into Glassdave's shop and was late already... Sorry I missed your call.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to getting her on the water in 2015!

I am not sure who the makes this system... I was speaking with GlassDave and he recognized the system, but couldn't remember who made them... He said that he believes that they were made for racing, but where outlawed shortly after introduction..... If anyone has info on them, feel free to contribute.

Along with the purchase of the boat, I was fortunate enough to get the Original Cigarette Owners Manual.... Very nice, leather binder with all the paperwork included! It is almost as cool as the boat itself!.... I showed it to GlassDave and he said "I've never seen one of these before!"....

Thanks! It is going to be a VERY long winter...... I had to leave her behind until spring when I can make arrangements to drag her to Ohio....

Can't wait to see it Dennis!!

Looks very clean. Good luck with her, you will be very happy with her wave crushing ability.

Cool boat, did you sleep in it yet? I would, now the waiting game......

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.

Congrats - I know you've been looking for a while. Your patience paid off big time !!

I was with Offshore Drillin when he went to look at it. Your getting a nice boat and the guy was really cool your buying it from.

Thanks to you Rob for going to check her out for me! I can't express enough how much help you have been. Between you and Dave, its like having two brothers helping with a project for school or something... You are correct that the details the owner paid attention to made a difference, plus he just enjoyed keeping her clean! Told me that there were days that his wife wanted to do something, and he said "no, I'm going to clean the boat"... said he'd get a twelve pack and just wax and clean everything even though he wasn't going to use her...

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
