I bought a cigarette boat looking for info about? Any help
I bought a 1978 cigarette mistress . Looking for history or any info about it? Someone told me it was in Louisiana at a time. |
post any pics you have hull ID and any info and im sure some guys will know a little history.
|
You`re gonna have to be a little more specific buddy
|
If you post pics the guys on here will know it. I'm not sure I've ever seen the guys on here NOT know at least some history on a cig |
It has 3 deck hatches, a wood carved lady built in the cabin, and first owner was a name called Schaefer. I’m bringing it home to Seattle,wa. It was in New York |
What`s up with those vents in the bow?
|
There are 3 hatches on the deck, never seen another one like that. Have you? |
Almost 100% someone added those, they do not look like factory ones of the era, I may be wrong but never seen them like that style, or 3 in a row.
|
Interesting project. Enjoy and keep us posted. Hope you’re not trailering NY to Seattle with what looks like a a Dodge 1500? |
Thank you, oh no that’s a picture of the last owner of boat. I am having it trailer professionally to Seattle though. I’m super excited about the boat. Trying to get all history about it. |
Do you have someone lined up to take it to Seattle yet?
|
Yes, I do a transporter . Delivered in a week |
The boat was in my neck of the woods in upstate NY. I saw it once or twice at the Chicken Wing Run on Oneida lake. which is a big event, usually around 75-100 boats at least. So I never got up next to it to check it out. It ran the event both times and looked good in the water. I did not see it up close, nor do I know the former owner. They always had a full crew on board. Good luck and enjoy your new purchase. Hope it works out for you.

Congrats! It was on the Tickfaw River in Springfield, LA for many years with 2 different owners. Eventually it was sold to another owner who ran the boat on Lake Pontchartrain. Many years ago, before the upgraded graphics, the boat was named XSTRESS. I have no idea of the power, etc in the boat at this time.....it has been gone from the New Orleans area for many years. It went to another owner in Navarre Beach, Fl who did a bunch of interior work, etc. The vents near the front of the hull are factory from 1978 due to the extra front fuel tank. Do a search on this site....here is one link

That’s cool, do you know what color it was before now? In and out? Do you know who owned it when it was extress? Any pics ? So the 3 hatches was there then cause I have never seen it on any other boat like that on a cigarette. |

https://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/...-mistress.html oh sh!t, I didn’t know it was James old boat when we spoke. I think James did all the work to it before he sold it and bought his tiger. James is “Stalkin” on the boards here but he’s never around. I have his cell if you want to pick his brain about the boat. Great guy. I actually helped him get his tiger. |
Yes please I would appreciate it, thanks |
