You must be thinking of a different boat. This Great Adventure Sutphen has never been damaged.

Warmed-over triple small blocks, TRS, in a low moisture, fresh water area. If it surveys out this is a lot of boat for $39,000 ask.

Edward R Cozzi could you tell me who desinged the wellcraft 26' hulls from the early 80's Both the scarab and the nova. I have an '81 that was built with a S/B V-drive 72C hooked to an Arneson #6 ( a nova ) Was told w/Craft built 10 like mine and some were raced. Any info would be GREAT thanks AW

This is the kind of thing that people should be careful with....notice the wording..."Cigarette Racing Performer". And another reason why HORBA can help prospective buyers.

For those who know, Cigarette Racing Team is the official name of the Cigarette company....it doesn't mean it is a former racing boat.

Now the last word, Performer, is the name of a company that built 40 foot boats that looked like the 40 foot Cigarette. The comapny was owned by Bill Elswick, a former racer.

This triple engine boat looks like the Miami Boat Show boat from Performer for 1977. Also in 1977, Open class had a cubic inch restriction of 1,000 ....so there were no triple engine race boats.

I would say that this boat is not a Cigarette, and it is also not a former race boat. It may be a great buy for other reasons, but not if you are looking for a former race boat.

Charlie,

Thanks for the info...I did not know Performer built a 40...I thought it was just the 33 an 36?

Come on you South Florida guys....where is La Tortuga? forty four feet of yellow boat is not easy to hide.

Here she is with HORBA board member Bobby Saccenti, winning the first ever Benihana race.
