Bicycle.

As much as I hate to admit this publicly, he's right. The Bicycle wins hands down.

PS: My take is new owners do not take into consideration the $500.00 an hour in operating cost, in future maintenance and rebuilds that they have in store on top of the nut they already have.

I think it sells so often because the fit and finish is still one of the best if not the best cigarette has made. It also has taken its full depreciation. I can see each time it turns over the owner has done something to improve it. With that being said the boat is approaching 400 hours and the realistic price to sell fast is 229k-249K. At the current price it will be for sale for awhile. Remember I sold it out of refresh at a total of 115 hours for 225K. I don't believe it's ever sold for anywhere close to 300K since I sold it.

The reason it sells. The sellers so far have priced it to sell.

I'd like to see someone drop a pair of Merc 1100's in it.

You sold it for 225. I have a guy one day too late and offered the buyer 15k more and my buddy would've picked it up from you directly. But the buyer declined and ended up flipping it for around 50k more if I recall correctly.

It's a cool boat for sure.


On a side note, I've always loved the bicycle. That little 28 is just a clean, good looking boat with a lot of bang for the buck!! Maybe it'll be for sale soon ;)

Are you ever getting back into perf boating? Would always be good to have someone to run with around CLE, although there's no way I could ever keep up. Maybe with the next boat..... (OL?)

Hard to say. I almost bought an MTI but didn't. Sure was a lot of boats out running around 8 years ago. Seems like the boats have decreased. I'm heavily involved in a development on PIB right now so until I complete that in a couple months I'm to busy to do much of anything.

Why does that 28 look so good? Looks deeper and roomier than other 28's?

It is a good looking old 28'.

Most do not have that fairing, just the tall or short glass. I think Sean put the fairing on.

Who owns to now? I always forget.

I love the paint on it, im just not a fan of the red white and blue vinyl, but that could be fixed easily enough.

I think the pic may be a little deceiving. That's me in the pic. I'm 6'2". I'm not standing straight up in the pic. I have my feet scooted forward and I'm down in the seat a little lower. Just found it easier to brace myself in the bigger water that way in that boat.

I have lots of pics I can share of it if you want to see more.

Was in Kansas, heard it went north.... Buck might know.

Chad is right, she's back up north. I believe Michigan again.

I sold it to a guy in Kansas. He didn't use it much at all. He sold to someone up north.

Buck

But he did get the Tattoo correct LOL

The Real Cigarette Bicycle Boat....A true offshore legend

As long as you're keeping tabs on it.

It may need to come back into the family at some point! ;)

So is it for sale? :lolhit:

Not that I know of.

I have a feeling someone on here will always know where that boat is.

That would be correct.

my wife was on that boat at the bay one labor day weekend before you sold it. We where not docked far from you guys that night witch was a good night. I love our islands they r a blast

What did we get from this thread?

That we lost Dreamer somewhere??? His bar did make a killer burger....

^^Which bar did he own/operate downtown?

Yup. I built the bicycle 28SS from a bare hull that was sitting in the back of pool and spa business on LI. I had the fairing on the "bicycle" custom fabricated out of aluminum. My wife and I talk about that boat every so often. Some of our fondest boating memories. Hampton Bays, NY to Block Island for lunch and then on to Newport, RI for dinner... :) Ahh to be young again...

Pretty sure it was this place.
