2002 Cigarette 38' Top Gun TS for sale in Gravois Mills, Missouri, United States

That is an interesting paint job, not cigarette-esq. Unfortunately I don't know if it's a factory job.

Thanks Tank for getting back to me. I have been trying with this Photobucket site to post pics. Use to be able to do so with absolutely no problems. Now I believe they are looking for members pay in order to be able to host pics that are pasted onto other sites.
In any event, before I bought my Cig I "traced" it's roots back to it's original owner. It was originally ordered from the factory by the Chairman/CEO of one of the largest Caterpillar dealers in the south. I believe he may have designed or commissioned the paint scheme (design and colors) from Cigarette. I was told from the guy I bought it from that the colors were the colors of the logo from his company. Further, instead of having the Cigarette logo on the deck boat he at one time had a Caterpillar (or his company's logo) there. Either the guy I bought it from or another one of our members (Ciaoderhead who was also owner this boat) had the Cigarette logo restored. It is a Great boat and in fantastic condition (interior and paint is like new). Every owner has taken great care of it as I will. You see I am like Felix Unger (very meticulous, etc..). Like I said the original owner only put like 49 hrs on it in approx 4 yrs of ownership. I'm guessing he was a busy executive and simply didn't have the time. Even before I bought it I had the usual tests performed (leak down, compression, ECM scan, outdrives pulled). The 575SCI were built 60 hrs ago with all the "best stuff" (I have all built sheets, all documentation etc..) Ciaoderhead even offered to have a convo with me to discuss the boat further. Seems like a great guy. I'm just the kind of individual who likes to know as much information as possible. I was just curious if anyone knew (or could confirm for certain) if the paint job was directly from Cig. Just another piece of the history. I thought of calling the original owner (for I believe he is still around) but didn't want him to think my intentions were from a negative standpoint. I know this, when my mechanic (right here on LOTO) test drives the boat and estimated the HP (based on the boats upgrades and his expert sense of dealing with high HP boats) it makes me smile!

Steve, congrats on the upgrade! Keeping the 26 Prowler?

Take Linwood (ciaoderhead) up on his offer. Lin is a great guy and will share quite I bit I'm sure.

Congrats....That thing sounds super sweet and appears to be in continuous good hands!

Thanks everyone.
Sydwayz - Bought the Cig April 2017. Sold the Sonic around the same time. Got over blue book. In all fairness I had every receipt from every oil change, repair, upgrade etc.. since we ordered the boat in 2003 brand new. It had just about every upgrade from Sonic you could order. Had a 3", 3 ring binder with everything a new owner would want. You know when people say "boat was maintained with an "open checkbook", in my case in was NOT an exaggeration! New owner brought a mechanic with who tried and question everything (to beat me down on price). When it was all said and the deal was done the buyer's mechanic told my mechanic (of which my mechanic shared with me after they left with the boat) "I know Steve is asking $10K over the Blue book price, but you know what ....... It's worth every penny!" So those stories of "hey this car (or boat in this case) was owned by a little old lady who only drove it on weekends and kept it immaculate". I AM that old lady, but it isn't BS it IS the truth. I'm the guy you want to buy a car, boat or house off of! Not arrogant just the truth. I told my new mechanic (here on LOTO) my (new to me) Cig will be like the story of the greyhound who was raced hard most of it's life (not beat on, just hard). I'm going to be that owner who will drive her hard once in a while but will baby her with all the care she (continues) to deserve. The new owner of my Sonic called some weeks after the purchase and paid me the nicest compliment. When I mentioned I bought a Cigarette from someone who treated it like I treated the Sonic they said "when you're ready to sell that Cig and if I'm ready to move up will you give me first right of refusal?!" This is a true story. If any of you are every on LOTO and see my boat, Say "hi"!
Thanks for listening everyone.
Steve.
p.s. Sydwayz. Didn't you have a Sonic, then moved up to a 37' Active Thunder (always loved that brand, reminds me of a Sonic w/o integrated swim platform?

Really getting tired of the snow and cold weather, come on Spring!!!

That is a real sweet gun, I can’t beleive it sat that long for sale. You have it looking good

Thank you, I have to give the credit to VortechSS because he cleaned this boat up, he rebuilt both engines and put a new coat of paint in the bilge before I bought it Nov 16. Last winter I added a little color to some interior parts, but this winter I have went crazy with a whole new cockpit...

Jim, sorry i didn't come say hi in Nashville, also wish I could have had my boat.
