I do. Like you, I had another center steer boat before this Cigarette. When I found this boat I knew that it was a perfect fit. I got it in April of 2008 and have never had any regrets.

Interesting cockpit colors - they definitely compliment each other and the exterior paint scheme.

If you two keep touting the CS, everybody will want one....

Kinda funny because these center steer 39’s were the first 39’s built and it was cigs plan to continue building them that way but the blowback from the public on the design was not favorable. As I recall many called it a derogatory Name when referring to it. So, after the first 4 were built they went back to traditional seating and never made any more. Then throughout the years when they would pop up for sale they’d always be under market compared to the traditional seating 39’s.

I always liked them and it seems the set up has grown on people, especially with OL and AT and the like using the same set up.

What is comical about the seating, is you are no closer to the other person, then you are it you are in a cat, or Maximus or Gladiator. Every single person that hung out in my Active Thunder, always commented on how much they liked the side entry cabin, and seating layout.

It's really too bad that Cigarette stopped making the center steer boats, but if the buyers rejected the idea, then what can you do?

i remember that sentiment when they came out also. I thought it was awesome but I always felt there was one mistake made. Not having the slide in third bolster like OL...

You are spot on with no third bolster. That should have been included.

100% agree!!

i don’t think it’d be difficult to have a shop make one.

The center steer Cigs also have a real head/shower if I remember correctly??? That in itself makes it a better layout in my opinion.
