'81 Squadron XII
 

This is me as a young kid in the 6th grade (I am now 25), standing next to one of my favorite boats in the marina....little would I know I would own the thing today! Sometimes I still think I am dreaming, and I have to walk outside and go "holy sh!t"....

The boat is a 1981 Cigarette Squadron XII 39ft. It was powered with 509ci 725hp MRD motors with blowers, and speedmaster #3s... Today, she sits without power. But my main goal is going to be getting her back on the water. Motors and drives will happen, but not this season, or next. This will take a few years of hard work and dedication but sh!t, im looking forward to this :)

I'll most likely be making a thread to document my progress in the "Restorations and Upgrades" section, but here are a few photos...

Cool story, @ 25yo we are all so glad you didn't buy a wake board boat.

Thank you! And yes defenitly, trailer needs work anyway so it will all be changing.

is this your boat...Cigarette 40' For Sale

Yep, thats it

So tell us a bit more......when was the boat last intact and running? .......present state (to a certain degree) seems she was parted out of engines etc;... did she fall into disrepair well before you got her?
Love the running shot of her, when do you think it was taken?........."Love the Squadron X11 very capable ocean runner!".....Good luck and post up when the restoration begins!

Let it thoroughly dry and get a cover for it. Did you get the tree sap off? Engines and drives won't be cheap but they show up here for reasonable price. Congrats.
