Sutphen vs Cigarette
 

Question to you guys out their in the go fast boat industry. Which hull is more “rare”, valued in terms of retail and solid? Please let me know with complete facts. Imaging that both are same year and size.

You've said you were gonna buy about 7 different brands now. your question makes no sense to me.

It probably doesn’t... you see I am in the search for a boat since a month every single time I post their is another one that comes up. I have seen a couple. This is a normal regular thing it is like buying a house. You can go to 50 houses and all the sodden you end up buying the first one you see. I ask because I don’t know. Trust me if I knew I wouldn’t bother.

Count the logos on each boat. The one with the most is a Cigarette.

resale = cig
rare = sutphens are probably more rare but resale still goes to cig
solid = cig

fyi: 10k ain’t gonna get you much in the cigarette world.

I appreciate the help. It was a good description. Thanks Blessed day!

(Just my personal opinion) I agree with:
resale=Cig
rare=Sutphen
I don't agree with:
solid=Cig...... both boats are solid, I would say it depends on how it was taken care of.

solid = construction

I agree, any boat built with wood will rot if neglected.

I stand by my original comment. I’d argue cigarette especially the early ones are one of the best made offshore boats ever created.

Rare is Sutphen but no boat has the resale of a cig and no I don’t own one. Because I can’t afford one !

I agree with solid=construction
Cigarette's are great boats, I'm just saying Ritchie's boats were extremely well built also....if you are talking about an older used hull (which is what the original post was about) it is going to depend on how it was taken care of.
