Default Monza?

I'm looking for information on my 1988 "monza". HIN says it was built by sunshine boats miami. Looking for more if possible.
it's a 24 cig style hull 6ft beam.
Thanks

I had one built around 85/86, was great strong boat, I watched it being built at the plant with Eloy. You put the bow down and throttle down and that little boat would go through anything! It was a 7' beam .

Eloy and the boys built a hell of a boat. I had a red 24 built in 1987. I used to run the hell out of it through the intercoastal in Boca Raton when it was really snotty. That boat was a little wave crusher.

I’m pretty sure they are a 7’ beam. A buddy of mine had one many years ago.

I'm not sure but never saw a "Monza" with a pad on the bottom, they were old school V-hulls with short narrow strakes, rode very deep in the water

Well that's interesting. She has a pad in the keel. There are no markings other that the hin #. When we picked it up it had Cigarette Monza decals but not the Cigarette logo. I assumed it was labeled by previous owner. I know molds hopped around the miami shops back then. Would you know who HNQ hin was?
