"Agreed !
you gotta " Your Cig is really nice. Usually when a thread is this active it's because guys are fighting. It's good to see an intelligent discussion!

I agree. I have a really nice boat that fits my needs. For some reason Im just drawn to the Cigs and have found 2 really nice ones in my price range. My hang up is where I live and boat. The Cigs are such overkill for here. I boat almost everyday from the spring to November so basically 8 or 9 months out of the year. A Cig is not practical but damn Im just in love with them and never even been on one.

As my Dad used to say, "Anything worth doing is worth overdoing!"
He also said, "When you're laying on your deathbed, be sorry for the thing you DID, and not for the things you DIDN'T do!"

Go for it! You can always sell it later!

They're everywhere. Not just in the boating world for sure. But for every 1 on OSO, there's 10 on Facebook.

I know i will be the out cast here but imo you should keep what you have. A Cigarette is not a boat that you will use everyday for 9 months.

I have to agree with you. Thats been one of the reasons Im so reluctant. I also would want to build an addition to my shop to park it when its not being used.

I've actually owned one and have driven/ridden in many others. Everybody has their preferences but to me, a Cigarette will always be number one (see what I did there? ).

I am going to wait a while before I make a purchase but I've been watching a bunch of Miami Vice clips on youtube today and man, they sure get me worked up to get another boat!

A good option although hard to find would be a 28 Cigarette SS they came with twin small blocks or twin big blocks. It would be large enough for where you and boat and would give you the experience of the #1. If you look they do come up, most have been redone and bring a good price, but you will get what you pay for. They are also easy to haul around without the need for a large tow vehicle.

Let me ask you how many hours a year do you typically put on the engines using it 9 months a year?
