How many 38 TGTS #6 boats came out of the factory around 2000 and what power did they have?

I believe they built 4 from the factory, but there have been a couple others converted to #6’s.

the first one is a 2000 T/S. It was stripped and repo’ed about 10 years ago. The guy who bought it rerigged it with 500HP’s, Bravo’s, and repainted it.

The 2nd one is Hot For Teacher a 2002. It has Big Pfaff’s and is probably the most well known 😃

the 3rd one is Heavy Metal Thunder, it’s a 2004, all purple with 900 Sterlings.

the 4th one is the mostly yellow 2004 with the 1200 Cobra’s. I haven’t seen or heard about that one in a long time.

Hi Bobby,

Can you please be more specific, LOL !!

You are the Cigarette Encyclopedia, Thank You.

Have a Great Day,

Victor

Bobby sent me this. It's the 2000 TS that was converted to bravo. This is how it looks now. No pics of it before. Beautiful paint!

Thanks Lucky, Thanks Tank - you guys are amazing! How about when times got tough for performance boats from say 2008 to 2012. Did the factory stop producing 38' or just slow way down? Any idea how many are coming out of the factory annually today? Thanks

There was also the red one that cobra converted and had 1200's in. had the big hatch on it

Ed Champion at Big Thunder just listed this one for sale

That was Joes, out of Jersey. Newer style deck.

Bobby and I were discussing that one. It was a converted #6 boat not from factory.

^^^ It was posted on Waves & Wheels FB page last night getting a slight makeover.....

thats why i said converted:lolhit:

thats an all new paint job on an older boat, he liked the paint so much that one was done by the same people that painted mine Chris and Andy at MD offshore performance.

Morning Smoke.....yes it was converted. And ran like a raped ape. Throttles were 2 position. On and off.....lol

What's Joe up to anyway? He was part of that Jersey crew that had a few Cigs, Vinny that owned the tow company and had the Gun (still does last I heard). Fun group of guys to party with down in KW.

The yellow boat # 4 is in Venezuela completely abandoned and I heard that the owner lost it for a $ 17,000 bet​​​​

So there are two of these boats painted the same? If so, thanks for the clarification ---- I learn something every day. It is one of my favorite paint schemes. When I was looking for a Cigarette I was contemplating buying the original as it was listed as a reasonably priced boat. But I was talked out of it by more than one person for various reasons. Never did look at though.

Someone needs to go save that!

By the way, I'd like to hear details of this bet and how it all went down. That's kinda crazy.

I just thought LS Jr and you on your way like the Blues Brothers.......... "Where on a mission from God"... :)

LOL that would be a fun trip!

Actually more than a couple with those colors and variants of that paint job, there is another in north east md as well... yes i saw this one getting painted here in MD and i thought it was the one from NE, i think it was originally a yellow one. it came out amazing.

Do you know the condition ?

Is pink ***** a 39? Does OP know TGs became 39s at some point?

PB is a 39 yes.

Yes, I know. The purple one is heavy metal thunder discussed at the top of this thread. It was just listed for sale as well. :grinser010: ;)


Back to PB though. I do like the re-do but I was partial to the original paint. I would've personally just taken all the pink parts and pink paint and painted them deep purple. That charcoal grey and dark candy purple would've looked bad ass.

I agree.........

Yup, nice lines on PB, cool boat! What did it trade for prior to the redo?

I’m not sure Justin.
Apex abt knows the story.
I will rattle his cage.

That I don’t know. The owners name is Dustin, he previously owned our Hustler. He made mention of the rendezvous (He has a place on loto) so I’m sure you can get all the details there.
Just guessing, it would have to be in the 2’s prior to redo. You see 525 bravo’s Guns going for a buck and a half or more.

As I recall it went for like 175ish when it came back from Europe and then the owner in Jersey (or NY) had it listed at 189 but it sold for less.

Sold that one 2 years ago for 145 with 150 hrs. on it. Price hike on TSTGs for sure.

Crazy right!?

wasnt that originally greek lightning?

Different boat. This was Greek lightning. It burned down at Loto early 2000's.

yea but mike the old owner built it iirc.. the reason i say that is I have the full purple cover from it and with the 6's it fit the tiger perfectly.lol

Which you were supposed to send me so you don't have to put an old cover on your new paint job.................
