We have a handful of Cig owners around here that are more than obnoxious. Most of them are rocking 20+ year old Cig's thinking their Big pimpin'. In other words the poor schmucks can't afford a new cig but still think their cool with a "1" on the side of their boat.

The "history" with Cig gets a bit much.....The 80's & 90's are a distant memory no need to relive 30 years of history at the lake every weekend.

If you want to support the brand buy a new cig & most of those owners are completely fine, its the " I wanna be in the Cig club" people that are so annoying. No you don't have any money if you have to buy a 20 year old cig.

Yes, upping the power. Fastest it has been was about 75 mph, on the trailer coming back from Dave's shop. Doesn't it take about 7,500 hp to make these things hit 90? I only had about 400 in the truck.....

I opted for the "90" theme, minus the "9" as is boat currently goes ZERO, that's why I only got the rear half of the paint job!!!!

I wont deny it. Where I come from, if you were a cool guy, you had a IROC, GTA, or Grand National. And most important, you had T-Tops, wore a white dago Tee, and your hair was gelled, and it was assumed you sold dope for a living. If you had a Mustang LX, you were a broke hillbilly.

Looks like the idea is already catching on...I hear this boat can now run through 6 footers with ease, and evidently looks 10 feet longer at the dock. Crockett and Tubbs approve...

And your Camaro or TA wasn't worth a crap if it didn't have the 5.7 either.

Monte's were cool, as were the 442 Olds, but they just never had a engine that had any Balls from the factory. Maybe if they would have carried that body after 87 they woulda offered the 5.7 TPI.

A buddy of mine just a few months ago picked up a 92 Mustang LX. It has 2k original miles. Literally 2k. Looks and smells showroom. First thing he said when he got it, "what a dog"!! They seemed much faster back then. But I suppose today, when a family suv does 0-60 in 5 seconds, it would feel like a dog.

I have to hear about the old tanks in this neck of the woods too. "ya but I can do 60 in anything" when honestly so can I, cause 60 is 3200 rpm :D Maybe the cig is better in 8-12 footers, but I don't boat the great lakes in November so I don't care. I wanna go fast when it is nice out, ya know, 95 percent of the conditions we see while boating.

That's a TRUE 26!! If you are boat shopping, that would be comparable size wise to a 35 Fountain. You have to subtract 6FT for the beak, and 3ft for the platform.
