That boat started out as the Cigarette factory race boat for Billy Martin, called Bounty Hunter and it was a 39 foot boat....it was sold to Michel Maynard and run as Fayva Shoes and then Copeland bought it.

Thanks guys, so it is not the prettiest Cig buildt but whats the "catch" since it has been for sale so long ? Did it ever race and how is the 39 hull compared to the old 36 wide body and the 35 racing vercion?

Not pretty? I think it´s beautiful. I understood it to be a good rough water boat. Is this the case?? Did it weigh as much as much as a house?!

Well Littlenige, I did not mean ugly but quite different from what at least I am used to se of Cig from the seventies. Actually the boat as "Bounty Hunter" is quite spectacular with great color-scheme. A little "european" style with the foredeck. I assume the boat on the enclosed top pic is the 39' and the lower pic is a 35' race boat ? Wonder why we get confused..

I remember the "Night Moves" and the publicity of this Performer said was a 36'....with the appearances of a Cig. 40' but with a different "wheel house".
Now this fast cruise version but however the same appearance that the same of the Cigarettes.....
Can you help me to know something more of Performer?

the boat they used by the way was the old "Diamond Don" which caught fire and sat in front of Offshore Marine(the more famouse locations of Doller Offshore) in Ft. Lauderdale for a time n the 80's...
