I like the 93 cafe, but for $60K I think you can get into a 38 top gun or a nice 38 scarab.

That 93 Cigarette is a beautiful boat!
Berns, how long do you plan on owning your next boat for? If it is more than 3-4 years I would tend to think that you would see less depreciation, higher re-sale value, and quicker sales out of the Cigs, and that 1993 35' is absolutely awesome.

DollaBill,
You are correct in your assesment. When my father bought the Phantom he was looking for a 34' Phantom. So it is truly a specialized buyer. We just (it is my mother's boat) won't give it away at a firesale price, so if it does not sell we keep it. At this time there is not a sense of urgency, but is priced lower than $69K, it runs 92+ mph, runs on 87/89 octane, no blowers, everything is new, garage kept, ect.
Bernie will find a good boat, he seems to buy a boat every couple of years. And you cannot go wrong with Cigarette (I like Cigarettes). Hopefully if my mother truly wants it gone, then it will not be years before it sells, and as of now, my money is tied up, and my law practice has just re-started. I wish I could buy it for the price she is asking. Time will tell.

My next boat will likely be a PP 33, or a Top Gun if I can swing one. The Cafe's don't run near as fast a 33 with similar power, and even the Top Gun is quicker. Plus I like the looks of a straight fairing better personally.
As to brand recognition.....sure a Cig has a bigger market, but you are also competing with a much bigger pool when selling. I've just mentioned I might sell my PP next spring, and have been contacted by 3 or so people asking about it. So I think the odd's of selling either comes down to price and condition for either brand.
