So far great service and pricing.

Little Red:
Speed . Less transom lift should equal more bow lift.

Thumbs up

I think I need to take a road trip out to Chicago this fall and just drop off my boat off with Dan. You guys are always embarking on some serious projects. I think you get Cabin Fever.

I figure in 3-4 months, we will probably have at least 2-3 more " Cigarette Adventures" documented from ICDEDPPL. This is awesome work and just beyond a love of the sport.

Doing all that bottom work, you might as well just add Steps and make it the first Flat Deck Cigarette TS. Not like you don't like a good project.

Good luck with everything, can't wait to see it all.

I agree with cigrocket. Its awesome to see someone take such pride in an older boat........and NEVER give up on it! This boat has come so far. Nice work Dan. You've done a great job on this boat....its a good thing you don't like money! Hahaha...

I agree with Kreed, I am pretty sure we don't like money. When we have some, we tend to say......I bet I could go faster, look better, ride better, IF........ and then POOF !

Great work Dan . In addition to the stern strake surgery , did consider lengthening the forward strakes to aid in bow lift ? Or would that make it to squirrelly .
