Not ideal, have to drop diving board sized trim tabs into the negative to keep her level. That, or maybe I just need to slow down. I thought these things were "wave crushers", maybe going fast into big waves just isn't my thing?

I keep hearing the older boats are nose happy, newer hull tech is much better. Shouldn't have wasted so much money on this one, now I am stuck. Stupid boats.

Ok the other picture was deceiving, it`s about the same as mine, underway more of the cig logo is below water level.






I wouldnt` agree with that, I think you just need more seat time and try some different props.

Yes, props may help too

Did you ever come across 18" diameter, I would assume those went with the boat? (Still mad you sold it, btw)

hows the hurt motor, bad ? ^^^^

Yes, bad, total rebuild, new crank, rods, pistons, lifters and whatever the f*ck else needs replaced.

I hate this boat and it's stupid.

Frick & ICDEDPPl you guys have some bad ass Cigs.... Frick it's frustrating just keep going!

^^^I hear ya, I'm not giving up, it;s just annoying.

Could have just bought stock Merc power and then make it a full season. Here's this winters list:
New engine
Pulled other engine and inspected it
Pulled drives and boxes off, rebuild tailshaft assy
Fix paint from a-holes banging into my boat and scratching it at raft up
Touch hup dash / dings
Maybe an AC?
Install O2 bungs in tailpipes

Lost track of the rest, I am sure there is more

The stance looks perfect. It's a big drive boat.

The lighter shirts like the ones handed out are very popular right now. That material, and others like it, is all that most people wear now. They're great summer shirts due to not being so heavy. All the shirts we order for our events are made from a similar material due to feedback from recipients.

To add to what Zero Patience said about Skip coming in empty handed. I was under the impression the first year that Cigarette was bringing a full inventory of their swag to sell at this event. Basically give us acces to stuff we would normally have to order. My wife and daughters were all three excited to run up my credit card on a full assortment of Cig attire and memorabially. Would still love to see this happen. BUT, I wouldn't want to take any sales away Brett and his staff at PBC. Ultimately they are the ones that need to benefit financially from this event given what they invest in it to make it happen.

On the flip side, I don't expect Skip to give me anything. He owes me nothing at the end of the day. Him taking time out of his busy schedule to come hang with us means the world to me.

The run is on Father's Day weekend again. Looking forward to it! Having Skip and Bud there to talk too is cool. The last two years have been awesome this year should be bigger and better! Hope to see everybody there.
