I'm pretty sure that boat has TRS drives on it. I saw this boat a few times last summer when I would overnight at 31st harbor in Chicago. Was in the water all summer only seen it go out one time, but then I wasn't at the harbor every weekend either. Engines sounded good, I like the classic black hull sides.

I knew I had a picture somewhere.......

Called Tony and the new owner.

Was a personal friend of Tonys who did the boat originally at FastBoats. He really did spend 150k making it perfect. The new owner spent a good deal of money having it gone through again.

Tony said the boat is beautiful. Runs about 58mph but is a wave crusher.

I think it is a boat that will always be worth $50k, even in 10 years if it is taken care of.

We've already talked about some engine upgrades .

The guy that re-did the boat lived in Jupiter.....saw it running around a few times and it looked great.

I would agree that it should be worth 50K but 58 mph on a FPC run (particularly KW and MBS poker runs) will be miserable!

I did a 25+ events with FPC in a 73 mph boat (WFO) and usually was the last boat in the pack, in some events barely seeing the rooster tails in the distance.

LOL. We would use the Skater for those. The Cig would be for day boating in the off years when we leave the Skater in Missouri. I don't plan on doing the poker runs every year. It's just too expensive and I am the only one in my family who would enjoy it. I hope to do it every 3-4 years.

My testosterone would never let me have a Skater in Missouri while running a poker run in Florida.

And I hate to say but that is the exact reason I am not doing any FPC runs. Their cost to me to be at the back of the pack is just not worth it.

That said I would rock that 58mph CIG all day long for sure.

I figured 60 would be a good buy, no more than that.

Unless the photo is deceiving it is a trs boat based on engine placement

I'll call and find out today. Stay tuned.

There was a thread in the cig section when the guy from fla was re doing this boat. 3-4 years ago maybe, everything looked really well done. Never understood why he put the those little motors in though.
