27 cigarette/squadron 12
 

Any one know anything about a 27 cigarette/squadron 12? I am looking at one as we speak, and would like to know anything about these boats.

All I know is there is a nice one in Huntington, NY.

yep thatsthe nicest around

35k will probably take it... good deal i think just get a survey!!!

Yes, I had one back in the '80's. Initially, it had a black hull with a gold stripe and a gray deck. I believe the guy I sold it to painted it white. It was a nice boat. It handled well and was reasonably fast. It road a little hard in our rough water out here, but to put that in perspective, I think my Top Gun runs a little bumpy. (It's almost always rough down here). Other than that they are great boats.

This one is the nicest around and has the lowest time of any that are left, my buddy has owned since new after special ordering it. Here is the link to the ad on Craigslist.

Looks nice, but were they still building them in 84? What is the HIN?

Sean, please call Charlie at 305-798-8284, he is the owner and an expert on these boats, I just listed it for him and am no expert. Dave

Uh, there are some odd references here, the Craigslist ad says, "John Claude Pierre from Coyote Racing did the actual build and was the best builder back in the day!"

In addition to owning 5 Cigarettes, I owned a 34 Coyote race boat 'Color Me Gone' when Nardi Carriega owned it then "Hard Drive" when I owned it. So I know I know a little about Coyote's. Jean-Claude Simone built my Coyote.

Who rigged their boat Pepe LePeux?

The odd reference to Don's passing (1986) (I was in his office with him one week before he died) has nothing to do with a boat supposedly built in 1984..

"Only the best parts and the best builders were used in the build from back in the day, the boat even has Kiekhaefer "K" plane trim tabs that were normally used only on the big boats from back in the day but Charly wanted the best for his baby!"

My 1981 27' Cigarette had K-planes, I am holding in my hand a 1981 CRT Cigarette 27' accessories price list. True, K-Planes were an option, "Bluewater panel with Rockers $1,050.00." were an option, but I've never seen a 27 Cigarette built without K-planes.


"Built by Rampage racing"? This sure sounds like only a splash. I've never heard of Don or any other subsequent owner of the company sanctioning 27' clones to be called Cigarette.

Cool looking boat! But at 40K.... I'm guessing he is going to own that one for quite a while longer.:lolhit:
