That’s Awesome glad you got her going.

In 2005 I was shopping for a late 80's early 90's Top Gun and if I remember correctly they were selling than for todays asking prices but 15 years newer.

yep pretty much any of the cigs are up in value about that much. the 2002 cig i bought in 2005 is now listed for almost the same price i paid for it, the cig i bought in 2010 that was 2 years old is now listed for 50k more than i paid for it and its 13 years old

Some people are making a lot of money on them and got to enjoy them for years

good for them

Yep. We bought our 95 gun with 525's and 3A's for 85k in 05. It'd be worth the same or more now and it's now 26 years old! Crazy.

I’d venture to guess that boat values are up 25-35% depending on boat and hardware…

few years ago 80-90’s flat bottoms were fetching 45-65k…now they are fetching 70-85k. If not more.

Part of it could be the money it costs to maintain them now. I have high standards for my boat and probably have more in it than I could sell it for. Even at today’s prices. Still have a few more projects to knock out once funds allow also. That being said it is hard to find a truly clean straight bottom these days.

Ive been trying to reply to your PM. Can you send me info 508.328.6429

Other problem is, what would you replace it with? It's a sellers market right now for sure.

Most hobbies involving engines have peaks and valleys, it is based on supply and demand. Right now the demand is up for motorsports new or used. I am sure most Cigarette owners will agree we spend thousands of dollars maintaining and bettering our boats.

This statement is true, but having the love hate relationship we do with them makes it a hobby and not a business. At least it makes you feel better to know you have something someone else wants and is willing to pay top dollar for. 😁
