Just out of currousity.....how many 20' Cigs do we have on the board.
I didn't think many untill lurking on a few of the threads lately.
Let's hear the year/engine/outdrive.

Look it's winter.....and I'm board already.

Any one else with a Cig 20' running a Bravo 1 outie?
Just currious what prop's you're running if so.

Unlce ernie, I have an '85 with 350 /alpha ss combo. The motor is being pulled tomorrow, I'll see if I can slvage it or not but I am certainly ready to get the repowering process going. I will read this thread with great interest....Obviously!

My current setup ran 54 with a tired sbc experiencing Major blowby. 25pitch cleaver.

If everyone could, please post your speeds with your setup and please include the type of prop. thx

25p mirage - 385 Stock Mag Motor - 4750-4800 rpm runs solid 65mph.
Think I want a 23p mirage. May not cruise as nice, but I'd like to get to 70.
Don't know if 5200 rpm will help enough
Might have to break down and beef'er up.

1977 had a big block and TRS. Engine was missing when I got it. Just took off the TRS and stripped it out.

I am planning on putting a turbine in it of at least 700HP. I am also considering putting a jet drive in instead of the prop, but not sure yet. Time has been a problem. I'll keep everyone posted when I get further.

I have seen (1) 20' with a Berkley Jet out the back once, on Sean's T.Boat-Alley web sight. But since no one else has chimed in, I guess I'll ask...........
WHY 700hp?
My gawd that's a lot of power in a 19' 6" boat. Cig or not.
Yeah, I would wana see this when it's done, maybe not ride in it, but I wana see it

Well, First I believe I will lose lots of power with the jet. Some people say as much as 20%. From what I am finding out, I can go 325 HP or then have to go approx 700. Yeah, it will be a sick ride

1978 getting re-done by lip ship putting new mec 496 bravo #1 drive going to make it like my gladiator in & out

Now that will be cool. A mini-me (cig).
Left mine all white with the obligotory Blue racing stripe
Looked at doing something wild, but like the ol' ones just white.

buyafoutain sounds like a good project if i had a turbine thats what i word do with it i run about 650HP in my 1978 20footer, it makes it interesting.A few weeks ago i was talking to the guys about a little get togather this summer and maybe a small poker run just with 20 footers it would be nice to see you their.I will try to come up with a date, in a couple month and place I already have five boats signed up

Count uncle ernie in.
Let me know if I can help!
Might have to get shirts*

* LEOPA won't let me be a member because I don't have a boat over 24'.
