Though my wife would rather have the super clean Donzi 275 lxc we looked at, she was totally on board with this purchase.
My dad, my best bud and I pulled off a Smokey and the Bandit type run to get this thing. Left VA at noon Thursday, drove to TX, fixed brakes and replaced tires on the trailer, then hauled it back to VA. We pulled in my driveway at 7am Sunday morning. The only hiccups were the sphincter pucker factor of 9.9 with Atlanta traffic, and a blowout just north of Charlotte NC.
I'll post more boat details later
After riding in his Bullet many years ago, I have to blame Old School Craig for dragging me into the Cigarette family....

I'm pretty sure ill enjoy it. Cheers!!

Love it.
But DAMN! How much does that boat and trailer weigh??? It's got the front of your truck almost off the ground! Tongue weight must be over a thousand pounds...

Nice boat, congratulations. I like the simple paint, it will never look dated. You may want to check the capacity of the tailer, I've never seen a Bullet on a tandem, I would hate to have something happen to you or the boat.

The trailer has 6k lb. axles and it tows fine. I wasn't really concerned about the trailer part of the purchase, as long as it would safely make it home to VA. I knew I would be looking into trailer options for the future.
The tongue weight isn't as bad as it looks. The starboard motor is in the bed along with 6 tires, tools, supplies and 10 gallons of diesel.
"Not too big, not too small. Just right" Yep!!!
"I like the simple paint, it will never look dated" Yep again!!!
