Trying to Find my Dads 38 Top Gun
 
Hey everyone not sure if anyone can help as it’s been several years. I’m trying to find my dads 1994 Cigarette 38 Top Gun. The boat spent its time in Ocean City, New Jersey. Just south of Atlantic City. Putting a picture in the next post. I believe the boat was sold to someone up in New York or Connecticut around 2006. Never put new motors in it during ownership but needed new motors when we sold it. Just trying to find the boat I grew up on!

can't post links or photos yet...so here's a link to the dropbox with the photo

Good looking boat! The docking lights should help ID it if it was repainted. Do you have any old insurance or documents with the HIN?

the HIN is CRTUSC09L394. I put it in google and all I got was an ad for a 35 Cafe Racer. So there’s a mistake on that ad most definitely.

I believe that HIN is correct for a Cafe. If it were a Gun, the 6th digit would be a T. (C=Cafe, T=Top Gun, P=Playboy, U=Unlimited, etc.. ) Might check that again.

Was this the boat behind a house in Sheffield Lake, OH up to a couple years ago? Story was not for sale, engine problems and one day it was gone.

Interesting...I just went back through the documents I have, on one piece of paper FROM cigarette the HIN is CRTUSC09L394. However, on another piece the HIN is written in as CRTUST27L394...guessing the CRTUST27L394 HIN is the right one...

Its tough to say because this "style" paint was pretty popular with subtle changes..if you have any more info that'd be great

After some serious google maps stalking found that boat behind a house on the east side of Sheffield...not our boat that im looking for. Ours had all geometric shapes all over it, none of the "cloud/paint splatter" on it

I’m in Maine and have been immersed in looking for Cigarettes for 20 years +/-, I have never seen that boat in my travels or classified hunting. I’ll stick around for the mystery though..

I have seen a boat VERY similar to that, but it has blower scoops on the hatch. It shows up at Claudios in Long Island NY every once in awhile. Dont know if its your boat, but paint scheme is very close if not the same.

i know the boat you are talking about...not sure if it’s the same. Unless the picture above is very washed out. Could be...

I think the boat w scoops was the one Gordon Demarco sold that use to have big power in it, I saw it in person and I’m pretty sure its a slightly different paint job.

it could be our boat. The motors were most definitely replaced. Not sure with what power. Assuming bigger power than the 520s. So very easily could have blowers and a new hatch along with that...that picture is also 20 years old as well so it’s very washed out
