I might be nit-picking but the phrase "just a blue collar guy" doesn't sit well with me. Countries all over the world were built by blue collar guys and blue collar guys make up the bulk of the population. If nobody was prepared to pitch in, get the job done and maybe get their hands a little dirty then the entire world would be in total ruin. The world owes so much to the 'proud blue collar guys'.
Disappointing when the cost of a hobby/sport increases so much it becomes a burden. Seeing a healthy, good looking family enjoying their hobby outside in the fresh air is priceless. Thanks for the video, I'm sure you'll stick with boating in some way, there are so many more economical ways to go boating than high performance stuff in a classic Cigarette.
On a lighter note, not much comes close to your avatars but that video is a near second.

Dan hang in there buddy. You wil regret selling it ,it is one beautiful boat. Get in touch Gary Kolofski and see if has some spare parts I think he is pretty reasonable. Wouldn't be the same without you in the Cig family .
Cheers Rick.

Your boat is the original and real deal go any were monster. This sport eats us up, we are glutens for punishment. Long hours a lot of work, time spent on OSO, broken parts, upgrades and lots of $$$$$$$$$. In the end it comes down to those moments we launch our boats and run them. That one moment while you are running and you think "This is perfect" euphoria. Do what you need to do sell or not sell. Do keep in mind if you do sell. Eventually be back for more pain with another boat. Most of us want a faster and nicer boat. That is why we go thru this endless cycle. Its hard to just settle Sit down and think it thru and weigh all options going forward. Hard to replace or rebuild too what you have now accomplished. Put her away for a year without expense is an option.
