My father had a 20 foot Cigarette built new by Don Aronow. Your boat is identical in shape and form. I have never heard of Larsn having the mold for the 20.

I could be wrong about the Larson part of your boat’s history but I would say I love that 20 foot Cigarette.

Whats in it for power SBC ?

454 Merc with Bravo One outdrive. Not sure what the orginal motor was at this point.

In regards to the orig manuf, I believe the serial number encodes the manuf of the hull.

Love the lines on that boat. Timeless...

Your fathers 20 Cigarette it wasn’t a jet drive was it?

Great looking boat! Cig or not it's a keeper. Must be fun with a big block in it. What kinda speed does it run?

It came with a 270 Volvo outdrive and SBC (350 cu.in).

He later put a 280 Volvo OD on it. It was a cool boat.

Your boat is just amazing! So many similarities. I will look for a hull number. How long have you owned yours?

I am revisiting this as I have lucked into some new and exciting info on my Granddads boat. The adventure continues. Thank you to all the contributors to this thread.
