Cigarette Gladiator available for Sale??
 

Good Luck, doesn't seem to be many around forsale these days

There's a 2005 on Beaver Lake in Arkansas that's been listed all winter. Been on Facebook and other sites for a few months. I just texted him, he still has it. It's well a well known boat in the midwest.

2005 with 140 hours on 800 Zuls.

here you go ,,,, good luck

Seems like a lot of money for a boat that is 14 years old and must eat drives pushing that kind of power on bravo's. JMHO

I don't believe John has had many drive issues in his ownership time but I think Mavrick10(Josh) may have blown a few back in his time. But he was a runner all the time.

I think the price is reasonable based on what pace all boats have gone up recently. Especially Cigs in good condition.

I think the price is on point too (based on condition of course). My boat (2003 38 ZrC with many updates) was just recently surveyed for insurance purposes and got a fair market value of $170,000. Good clean early to mid 2000's are holding their values due in part to the lack of boats built between 2009 and now and the escalating prices of today's boats.

As used sport boat building dwindles. The clean machines that do exist will continue to pull good prices. Especially ones with great paint, engines redone, interior and brand loyalty.

To each his own. Here's the problem, go find another one for less money.

I think that right there is the reason Pretty much performance V hulls other then OL and Cig stopped after the 2009-2010 time frame. Most anything built after have big power that cost a lot to keep running, you see very few mild power boats built after. Not saying all but most.

Its one thing to buy the boat, another to keep it going.

I said this was going to happen a few years ago. These boats are now like old muscle cars and are going to keep going up in value.
Like others have said, there's not to many clean mild powered ones around.
I think the older ones being restored are going to start getting good money as well.
JMHO

Just my honest opinion, I think prices are somewhat inflated. I understand the supply and demand thing but times are good... will be interesting if the market turns...

It's just a fact as the newer ones get more expensive the older ones go up in value, especially since there harder to find.
even the 20-24' day boats have doubled.
Pontoons for 85k really?
150k for a 24' mastercraft ski boat.

If the market turns everything goes down but they always come back. Look at homes and vehicles over the past few years.

Maybe another 10 yrs and mine will be worth what I have spent on it in the last 10 yrs- Half would be nice. :riding:

Does Tyson have the white one with the silver flames and cig logo in the middle? Always liked clean simplicity of that boat.

that's the one

Yep, I have went back and forth thinking about selling it for several years, and now between the diesel Skater and the race boat plus the new race boats were having built, I just will not have time to mess with it, so it is now officially for sale.

My aging brain is having problems remembering which it was originally. The "Wanted Racing" or "Aqua Toy Store Racing" boat?

You're selling with out power?

Can't help you there, I'm in the same boat !! did new SCX drives 2 years ago and did engines over with new 3.3 whipples last year along with all new gauges, carpet and misc. items. This year will be touch up paint and clear coat the whole boat.

Here in the northeast "Wanted" was a wicked Kryptonite. There's probably a few "Wanted" boats though.

I was referring to this gladiator. But now pretty sure it's not the same boat. Think it was the Aqua Toy Store boat. It's all good, I was just curious, couldn't remember.
