I know, I was thinking the same thing. That hatch is hideous, your eye goes right to it, and not in a good way.

Incoming one of a kind 2008 39 Cigarette/ Skater powered by 2013 Twin 1350 Mercs with M8 drives. Only 60 fresh water hrs and absolute pristine condition. This boat was built as a collaboration between Cigarette and Skater. Very very Fast!
Full wrap windshield, Full Cabin, Custom Tri axle Skater trailer . Absolutely NO expense spared.
Offered exclusively by FBMG

Asking $389,000

Well, as normal business, Skater sends their interior work out to Appearance Products - this one went to Cig for the full monte.

Interesting boat/concept - has anyone put 1350's in a 38 or 39 Top Gun?

I really like the one off boats, as I like uniqueness.

The yellow and orange one with the twin canopies is is gorgeous.

I think it’s just the paint, but I definitely cannot get into the “Skaterette”.

That orange 388 V-Rod Skater is my favorite boat of all time, actually got to see in in person years ago and talk to the owner before it was sold and went to Louisiana. It popped up for sale on here last year last post I saw was $275k not sure if it ever sold.

Skip had Pete lay up the kilo boat but the bottom was a Cig or at least it wasn't a skater bottom I should say. The Baja deal was Baja contracting Pete to design a stepped vee for them when they were thinking of trying out stepped hulls. When the deal fell through It actually became the Superman Skater Vee. Few other skater vees were built (not too many though) and their success can be debated but we don't need to get into that. Point is, these are all factory partner deals. The Skaterette was commissioned by the owner originally through Skater as a 39' Skater and then taken to Cigarette for interior and motor rigging. It's still ALL SKATER. If someone takes their Baja to Skater to have them redo the interior and re-rig the power should it be rebranded as a Skater? I think not. LOL

It's just my opinion but it shouldn't be labelled as a Cigarette....It's not. Not to mention there's nothing wrong with calling it what it is. Not like Skater isn't a very well respected company. Though, I'd take a Cig vee over a skater vee all day. :whistle:

I agree there is no shame is calling it what it is, at the end of the day the HIN number tells the story, if it doesn't start with CRT it is just a wanna be.

Bad taste in your mouth over Cigarette?
Care to share?

I just can’t get past the wraparound windshield and a Cigarette dash. It really should get a skater interior and I feel like the boat would just be better looking.

i think it needs to be a sit down boat... as bill pyburn said once "freeboard is over rated"

other than the Skaterette, the Baha and the 478, they were all sit-downs - even the 488 Dragon lady
