The [Bittersweet, Burn Baby Burn] Cig was owned by Frank Szykula & the late Bob Schaeffer was the engine builder. The Cig was raced only a few times by Frank without incident. This is how she looked at the impound yard in the Detroit area before she left for Ohio in the early 80's. My Ohio friends say she is still there waiting to be restored.
Can you get pics of her current condition?
I would be willing to buy her, my favorite boat of all times.

Yes I knew Bob as a member in our club, Lake St Clair Offshore Racing Association [LSCOSRA] Bob was the man with the man with the golden wrench.. I believe he passed a few years before we closed the door on the club back in 2005. Bob also teamed up with Frank on his Magnum [Broad Jumper] back in the 70's.

"Lets get creative" was his favorite phrase!
