Oh man...you guys are in BIG trouble...
 

...there goes the neighborhood.

:D

:confused: ??? :confused:

Dont tell me Nort bought a Cigarette...........:eek:

No..hell is probably plenty warm.

No, I think somebody else did though.:cool:

.......are we still in trouble? :D :D

It's OK, I am always in trouble!:p

Nort? No way, not enough ameneties, not even Formula is plush enough for him, had to upgrade to a Sunseeker so he could stand up while he pees.

I believe he could do that in a 24 Outlaw!:p

Yep...on Saturday..."survey says?"

:eek: :eek: :eek: :D

Cafe Racer maybe??

congrats!!

I hope the survey goes well.:cool:

Well, I haven't picked it up yet, but the wood is pretty dry- 5% on the outer transom, and 15% near the center. There is a water pickup there...so I'll have to look at that.

One of the drives' has a flaw in the lower case (Imco 1" shorties) which may need some attention. Also, there is a small power steering leak on the starboard engine.

It needs new flexible brakelines on the trailer, and the hatch needs some attention. Also, the tab indicator cables have some corrosion.

350 total hours on a '93.

The seller has assured me that he will fix it. If it works out...I'll get it next Saturday (all I gotta do is get something that'll tow it).

We'll see.

Is this boat all white?? :D :D

LS JR.

Yep.

Cool, Hopefully it works out.

Nice rig. Are you planning on adding paint if you get it ?

Keep us posted Havasu Hangin. Oh, and we want pics! Lots of them.

Is that the one from Bullock? I tried buying it but he was putting in new motors and I wound up buying another. Nice clean boat, I liked it.

Dan

Nope...not that one. I did look at that one, though...very clean. The guy who used to own it lived here in So Cal, but traded it in to Bullock for a new Skater..so it went from So Cal, to Texas, and Bruce told me it was in Michigan.

The owner said that went through everything and said it ran about 95MPH with the big motors. However, he wanted $113K...and said he wouldn't take less, unless he pulled the motors and put 525's in it. Bruce said $99K with the big motors (which I still thought was a little high for a 1990), so I'm not sure who was actually selling it.

Although the 800HP motors were good...I didn't think they were Sterlings (if you know what I mean).

The one I'm getting is here in So Cal (ex- Ski race tow to Catalina)...and was documented in Boulder City (Lake Mead) Gary Teague did the motors and is the one selling it (for the owner). He told me they were dyno'ed at 720HP a side.

Yeah...the boss already has some ideas...although I like the white.

You guys wouldn't happen to know where I can get some Cigarette vinyl for the truck?

Whats the deal with the boat, did you get it? I have been off the boards for a week or so and need to get updated.

What kind of Cig vinyl are you looking for? If it is just stickers I have a few laying around and I could send you some. Let me know.:cool:

Well, I got it home today.

On the trailer

Man, those electric over hydraulic brakes are the way to go. Since I pick up the 3/4 ton Sub Monday, I had my buddy tow it today with his Duramax...

Hooking up

I sure wish the Sub came with the diesel.

I can't register it until I get a letter from the Coast Guard releasing the documentation from the previous owner. Hopefully, I'll be out next weekend.

Yeah...a sticker for the new truck would be great. Thanks.

Cool, the boat looks great!!!

We checked into the Duramax option on the Suburban but Chevy told us they don't know when or if it will happen. The 3/4 ton with the gas motor should work fine.

PM me your address and I will shoot you a couple of stickers.:cool:

Hangin
Looks good. Saw it advertised in Powerboat, Got any pics of the cockpit or cabin? How does it run with those motors?
BTW I tow mine with a dually, had a panic stop yesterday....glad I had the dually.

Dan

Thanks, guys.

I just got back from 7 hours of cleaning. Ran the motors, and they sounded great... a little surge, but nothing too bad. Those flush systems are very cool- just hook up the hose and go.

Engines

One thing I can't figure out...what the hell are those Mercury canisters on the gunwales?

The cabin is in GREAT shape- looks brand new. Other than spending an hour cleaning the head (it's very glamorous being a Cig owner), the compartments were the only dirty areas.

Anyone know where I can get replacement shocks for the hatches?

The cockpit is showing a little wear, but nothing major. Here's a shot of the dash:

I'm not really happy with the black Gaffrig gauges...but they all work, and it shouldn't be too hard to change them down the road.

Gotta love the rotary trim controls, GPS, and intercom system- pretty cool.

When my buddy was towing it with the Duramax, the Allison would actually slow us on the downhill...and the electric brakes would kick on.

I bought a Prodigy module for the new truck...if it works as well as the trip yesterday...I will be happy.

Just got 4 new shocks for the hatches from Martin offshore, 22 bucks apeice but I understand you can order them from west marine too.
Too bad that boat wasnt around when I was looking, you'd still be;)

Dan

I cannot see the cans real well but if the boat has bravo drives it looks an awful lot like the shift assist option that makes a bravo shift more like a transmission type outdrive (i.e. - smooth and easy). If I am not mistaken, it is a somewhat expensive option which is probably why you have not seen it before. I've been told it is really sweet.

Thanks.

Yeah...I think it says "Mercury Power Shift"...or something like that on the side. I believe that it does have vacum lines attached.

I'll see if I can get a better pic next time.

Congratulations... Looks nice!

Mercury Power Shifters.

Very cool to have, I had them in my Cafe' as well. It makes shifting in and out of gear very easy, no notchyness.

Boat looks great.
