It could also be a P&D

cig did have a standard deck 24, it had a wider beam though. firefox had a special deck made, i think banana boat wound up with the molds and charlie sold them later.

It looks the 24X7 "splash" hull that Excalibur, Wellcraft/Scarab, and a couple other companies also did.

I was told this was a Cigarette when I bought it and I believed it because it had a Cigarette sticker on the hull and 2 Cigarette pillows on the berth .

What a fool I was when I found out it couldn’t even get on plane because it was under powered.

I guess Bill Farmer made several 24' and 27' Excalibur boats with outboards.
