These boats are like cars, you can never put one set amount of $$ into a restoration, sometimes it takes years by doing a little here and there, and then when you look back and calculate all the $$ you put into it, you could have bought a new one!!

Looked at one today. the seller said that it used to be a race boat, I don't see the race aspect of it (except for the racing stripes!). It does need lots o' work! I was told it was a 1978 35' Mistress, but it just doesn't look like a Cigarette to me...

$30,000 with a triple axle aluminum trailer and a spare engine
. Turn key ready to enjoy racing, poker running or just a great pleasure boat
. I've enjoyed it for 7 years
.I Bought it from my friend who built it new & I have throttled for him for years back in in the day.
A lot of BANG for the buck.
All original gelcoat & interior in great shape. Stored indoors 80% of its life.
