Just joined , and first time boat owner
i just bought a 1978 cigarette mistress, first time boat owner. Thanks for accepting me in |
Welcome! |
Thank you , I’m in Seattle |
any pics of boat
|
Who accepted you? I disapprove.
kidding, obviously. I’m far from anyone who would be accepting or rejecting anyone anyways. You’d be hard-pressed to find another forum with this much expertise, experience and knowledge. There’s been a number of times when I search google for something not related to boating and I find myself reading information on OSO. And then there’s the winter entertainment! |
Let’s see some pics!! |
Very nice! Good luck be safe!
|
Welcome! Cool Cig. Someone here will definitely know the history.
|
Thank you 🙏 |
First time boat owner?!?! WOW! You jumped in with both feet. Very nice.
Welcome to the site. |
Thank you, I know huh lol go big or go home lol |
The deck hatches look a little small for Square Grouper :drink:
|
They. Are smaller, I was told by the second owner in the 70’s it was a custom hatches and 3 for front fuel tank. |
Nice ride.
I'm curious about why the bilge vent is on the front of the hull behind the bow light? |

there's a fuel tank in front, you can see the filler on top
Just curious |
I honestly don’t know, maybe someone on here can pipe in |
All of the Mistresses that I have ever seen have had the engine room vents up on the front sides of the boat I guess its to keep the moisture down in the bow cavity.
|
Oh ok , I didn’t know that. I’m new to owning a boat first time boat owner . And lots to learn of these boats |
Wow. That is a lot of boat for a 1st time boat owner. And I thought I was a little over my head when I went out and got a 26' Formula when I turned 50. :D Soon realized I would have been better off buying a smaller boat a lot earlier and trained myself up... Good luck and happy boating!
|
Thank you, I do feel a little intimidated while it’s sitting on a trailer in our drive way. Lol but can’t wait to warm up and conquer it |
Hell of a first boat! Congrats! My first boat was poop!
|
Thank you |
Congrats
|
Cool boat, after a few times out it won't feel so big.
|
I’m super excited, hopefully be out in 2 weeks, thank you |
