Let us know if they approve your tour,

maybe things have changed with the new owners, but all I can tell you if Skip still owned cigarette it would be difficult, good friend of mine ordered a brand new 39 top gun back in 2009 he went to look at the boat a couple times as it was been built And he always got the impression he was bothering them and never got the warm fuzzy feeling as a customer that was spending 500K+ for a boat

I toured the plant in 2008 and 2014. Had a great time. I called about 4 weeks in advance both times and they accommodated me without any issues. Good luck. Very interesting and cool. Best to go Mid Week by the way. Many people off on Monday and Friday so less to see and less active. Just FYI

Hey there this is Laci Goldner with Cigarette Midwest here in Oklahoma! I toured the factory about 2 weeks ago in Opa-Locka FL. Hands down you need to do it! It was the most informational tour I have been on. If you do go, the design room and paint booth are my favorite because they explain the entire process of how exactly everything is done. You get the see the hull rigging and what not. I hands down would recommend!

Bust
 
Well this ended up being a bust. Tried for over a month with phone calls and emails and never a response untill the day before I arrived and ( which I understand ) they didn’t seem to interested in a tour for us 3 all Cig owners also. Because of the Ft. Lauderdale boat show…. Maybe someday…….

Like I said in my previous post, when my buddy ordered his 39 top gun back when the old owner ran the company they weren't too interested with him either, I have toured a couple different boat manufacturing plants and you ain't missing anything, most of the people working and putting the boats together can't afford a boat lol
