I remember spending a long time at Magnum because my father had owned one of the race 28's. We had never seen the Starfire boats and your boat was just being launched for a test run. I do remember that we all fell in love with your boat, it looked and sounded amazing, still does by the way!

I do not know who was on your boat when we took the photos, sorry.

After leaving Magnum we went down the road to see if we could get into Cigarette. No one was available to take us on a tour around Cigarette but the guys at Signature were very accomodating, not sure if it was Tommy himself that took us around but who ever it was, they also took us around parts of the Cigarette factory and sorted us out with loads of Cigarette apparel, which was very cool!

My understanding of the Signature is that the hull was taken from a Magnum 27 sport and a new deck was put on it........as you have seen in my previous post, the 38 was there as well at the back of the unit where Signature were working from.
