There... more negativism.... but as the saying goes "the truth hurts"

So who exactly has a better and more affordable comparable CC than Cigarette??? I'm shopping so I'd really like to know. You can exclude Nortech, I already have them on the list even though they still look more like a fish boat.

I think some of the activity/excitement has moved to Facebook unfortunately. OSO (and all forums) used the be the medium used to e-gather but that platform is now Facebook - a chat house for high schoolers and soccer moms with nothing else to do except post braggardly drivel about their precious little Timmy every day. (Full Force, the Timmy I referenced is a generic reference - not directed at you so don't get bent out about it)

Facebook doesn`t have sponsors/moderators so you won`t get any censoring of information . I can go tell a guy to watch out for a certain cam guy/ builder etc , can`t do that here .

If I had The $$$ there would be a new gladiator with trip 400s at my house. Cig should look into that

gladiator’s labor is not cost affective. However, money talks, Cigarette builds custom boats and I’m sure if you wanted to pay for it, skip would build it.
