I guess the biggest difference that I can see is that one is a production boat and the other is a custom boat. Sort of like buying a home from Pulte Builders or hiring a custom home builder.

Sorry to tell Robert but your totally wrong. No Cig is production boat, we all know that... either is a Apache. Because all race setup Apache's look the same ( a little different here and there but that's it) as well as the pleasure ones, but that still doesn't mean it's a "production" boat. I have always said your Apache is my fav but i can assure you the "90 mphCig " was not a production boat. I mean they only made 5, and each of those 5 were different. Different paint, different hatches and so on

Jr.
I didn't mean to step on any toes here, what I should have said was that the Cigs are semi-custom boats and the Apaches are custom boats.

I think it's all in how you define the term "custom". In the instance of Cigarette, I'll agree their boats are built-to-order. On the other hand, it's never been unusual for their dealers- especially the larger ones- to order boats for their own inventories. In other words, a spec boat- one assembled to the specifications of the dealer and sold in as-constructed condition off his lot. In the case of Apache, I was never aware of that happening years ago and I don't think I've ever heard of McManus building one for an intermediary on a speculative basis. I think that's reflective of the types of companies they are and the scale on which each operates.

Apache... each boat was commissioned for its owner.

Duh, come to think of it... alot of boats are like that...
Magnum, Pantera are just two i can think of.
Too bad magnum mark ain't around, he'd be able to make sense of this.

I agree, "Custom" to me is something that is spec'ed and built for an individual. If there is a showroom involved its not truly custom anymore. Now in Cigs case I wouldnt say this is a detriment because they understand their market and build them top of the line no matter what.
Apache.....Custom boat no question
Just MO.

Actually there are some new ATs at dealers, not customer specced.
