Cigarette in Auction, Low min Bid
 

I just came across this Cigarette in a Dealer Auction. Anyone have any info on the boat ?? Looks very clean for its age.

Minimum bid?

I saw that too. Its at copart in miami. They had a nice Donzi too.

Its got twin turbo motors.

Somebody must know this boat ??? Any News On It ??

Is that the old Powerboat Magazine 39 Cig ?

pics

few more

Last few posted on the site. Anyone know anything about the boat ?? Not sure what the minimum reserve bid is but as of now it is 12,000. Goes to final auction tomorrow, anyone want me to bid ??

What is the website ?

You must have a dealer liscence and membership to sign in.

I was curios if anyone knows the Horsepower on the motors or any performance info at all.

I plan to watch the live auction tomorrow. I if anyone has any interest let me know.

Where is the website ?

How much $ 4 u 2 bid for me?

That is one bad a$$ boat. I hope some one on here gets it and it dont go over seas

I love that engine set up. It belongs in a museum.

Wish I had enough cashon hand. I would have you bid for me.

I have 20K if that will get it done, but I don't think there is a chance in hell it goes that low.

If it does I'll be right over.

Sucks to be broke when deals like that come around.

If the dow drops another 500 tomorrow you'll be able to buy 2 for that price.

That...in my humble opinion...should buy the boat.

Well then there should be money left to have it delivered.

How about you buy it and then put it in my driveway for 20K and take the profit.

You give me a ride when I visit Florida and we have a deal, OK ?? Let me know how hi you want to go. I was ready to bid up to 20K anyhow. I figured if I got lucky and won someone here will want it.
The only thing I ask is if I bid for you and you don't go thru with the deal there is a monetary penalty, its not alot but I'd hate to give money away.

Its going off around Noon on friday so let me know.

I think 20 would be worth buying the boat at. It is a really cool and unique boat. Looks like someone spent a fortune at one point in time building it.

Good luck you guys. Remember us poor boys out here when something really cool turns up again.

Can you keep us updated during the auction?

Web-site !!!!!!!

Yes, it definately looks like it....Funky deck that isn't shown in the pics.

I can give you the information. It was the Powerboat "CAM" (Canada-America-Mexico) race boat. Was purchased from Nordskog by a freind of mine in Oklahoma who owned it for several years and updated the boat changing the paint to white from yellow and orange. We had the boat in Miami for a while at TNT when my sales office was located there. The boat was sold a few years back. I don't know what happened to the boat since, but I can tell you it was a good boat and the Gentry turbo motors ran very well in the boat. If someone is serious about buying it I can get them additional information.

I just want to take it apart to learn how all that old crap works.

Tank.... That's the boat... Anyone know where the auction is.

Choke you haven't answered my PM I sent you..
I said if I buy it you will be taken care of.... So ?

steve looks like the boat is at the fort lauderdale storage lot next to 595. check manhiem's for that sale

I responded as soon as I read it brudda.

I gave you the hook up, I am not looking for anything in return bro, best of luck to you !!!! Hopefully you'll get that baby !!

Hey Custommarine any idea on the horses the gentry motors were putting out. How about block size and performance ?? Looking forward to watching the auction.

Having met and talked with Pete, and more importantly having friends that are friends of Pete, this is about all the creds I'd need to go ahead and take a $20k chance on this boat site unseen.

It almost looks like a Squadron that's had Cigarette decals put on to be more "understood".

Looks really sweet either way. :cool:

Boat has been around (eBay and another website), at least twice recently, meaning in last 6mo - 1yr, and did not sell. The reserve was at like $70-80K if I remember. Definitely the same boat as Peter said, Nordskog/CAM 39'. Can't post pics anymore, but I got few from the other times it was on auction.

The auction produced a high bid of 21,000. That bid was refused. I was told the owners were looking to recieve around 40K or better.


Oh well.

Well it was fun while it lasted.

i saw it only got up to 14k last time it was up

i saw that boat on copart a couple of months ago

the website is copart.com . however you need to be a dealer to access the site. be aware this is an insurance recovery auction and almost everything there is either damaged in some way or is a theft recovery.

there have been a bunch more of dealer trades,fleet,and donation vechiles on there[copart] for the past 4-5 years and in some states the public can buy there too

yea, watch out for the "dealer dumps". there is usually a reason its at a salvage auction.

saber28 is right unless you live near the location of item its basicly sight unseen motors could be bad drives etc.you have to buy thinking the worst possible situation

i buy about 200 jeeps a year from copart, iaa, etc. 99% of the dealer vehicles are junk. i've seen everything imaginable from these jokers. to call them crooks would be a dishonor to crooks:mad:
