The Erik in the boat w/ me fell in just before leaving & his Wife Jenn was in just a thong... They were cold lol

No regrets! I'm getting too old to crawl all over those fast boats. lol!

I do miss the cool factor, but my 400r's run pretty strong on the CC. Plus plenty of room for the girls to dance! :D

Terry we miss seeing you guys in that hot rod. Do you guys have any regrets about going the comfort route? Cannot deny that I've had those thoughts myself - just know that once I do It'll be forever - no going back.

How old is to old? Just wondering if I am supposed to go the CC route yet, not like you see a few down here,,,,,LOL

I had several friends on that boat. Fortunately, all are alive. Banged up, but alive.

I did it years ago. sold the Cigarette and bought a Formula 400ss. Couldn't take it had to get another cig. Now having both the Formula and the cig was the hot ticket, ( but really tough on the wallet )

This time around I could pretty much get whatever boat I wanted and maybe I'm just not old enough yet but and honestly this very well could be my last Cigarette but couldn't be happier going the performance route. ( I'm 62 )

Awesome. I'm not too far behind you. During last year's poker run the Donzi was down and I spent the weekend in my 29 X-Flight backup boat. It's a great practical boat but there is a big difference between riding across chop and being able to rip across it. I"m not ready to give up that ability just yet. :)

Hi Peter! Yes we still have the same set up overlooking the lake - even have a few improvements like a much bigger covered deck. Simple set-up but it suits us fine. We are just finishing up a 5 week stretch at the lake and are bummed we finally have to go back home this week. The "more comfort" I was speaking of might involve egg-beaters and a mere 75+ mph boat - but with little to no off-season drama getting it ready for the next season. . Thankfully that's still a ways off as it's still a thrill for me to buzz around on the tops of the waves in the Donzi. Was just wondering how it's working out for peeps who have made that transition from wild no mild. On those occasions when the Donzi goes down during the summer I feel naked being in a mere mortal that cannot shoot out an 80 foot rooster. :) Not ready to give up that rush forever.

Hope you guys are doing well. Still have your 35?

We are fine, healthy thank God. Yes still have the Black Biotch and still thinking that a 42 would be a good thing. But hen there are those days that a place on the river and a normal little boat would be ok as well. This getting older has it's drawbacks. Give our best to your better half. Best boat deal I ever made was with you, many a day I wish I still had that boat.

I bailed and downsized to a small outboard C.C. at age 74. The maintenance became a chore, still enjoyed the ride. You guys got some years left, enjoy.
