BTW... there are also 3 fountains in here too.

Re: Cigarette Vs. Apache
Birdog, fortunately, that boat survived Wilma............
She was in the Top rack at Marina One and Wilma deposited her bow first into the concrete floor and dropped a few more on top for good measure......
I went to check on her after the collapse and all I could see were the white #6's standing up straight.

Re: Cigarette Vs. Apache
The flat deck that Stormrider posted pictures of (post #63) is mine. Thanks for all the kind words.
It is the 3rd Cigarette that I have owned. I've had it for 9 years and gone over/replaced everything on the boat.
It's a great/reliable boat. Apache is a great boat, but as you can see I'm a die-hard Cigarette fan.

The boat in post # 74 is alive and well. It belongs to Doug Sullivan from Indiana who is a member of the Chicago Powerboat Club.
I think I know the boat that you are referring to. It`s a 96 side by side with big Chief power and white sixes. I talked to the owner at the Chicago boat show in January and he said that it escaped with relatively minor damage, all things considered.

Be happy to show you mine............nothing like what you describe above.
