Lost Cigarette
 

Has anyone seen this boat lately? If so where is it located? It is a 1977 36’ Cigarette Mistress. My dad drove from Houston to Miami in years ago to pick it out. He found it in a dilapidated condition and restored it. I can remember a guy he hired working for months just scraping and sanding the bottom paint off. Yes some idiot had put bottom paint on it. My dad built a building to paint and store it in. When I was 11 years old these were the first big blocks my dad and I built together. We did the graphics ourselves and hired an airbrush artist to help us. The boat was my first experiences in offshore powerboats; I can remember every detail of those rides. My dad sold the boat in the mid 1990’s to someone who I believe was affiliated with the Luxor dragster in Las Vegas. The boat means a lot to me and someday I would like to buy it back. Right now I am in college and can’t afford anything, but after I graduate I will definitely own the boat again. If anyone has information on the location of this boat please write back.

I dont know anything about it, but good luck!...

This winter we repainted and fix up a 36' from Illinois it was owned by aguy called Randy Miles he sold it to a friend of Mike Livorsi if you call him he could tell you who owns it now Mike Nicholson

can't anyone give me a location on the boat?

I just finshed at A&M Galveston last December. Do you know Scott Felsenthal he is about to rig his 33 Doniz CC. Are you MARA, or something hard. Good luck on finding your boat

Hi Clay... Welcome to the forum! :cool:

P.S. You need to get a cool avatar! :p

I'm MASE, I design offshore structures. It is Engineering, a little harder than administrations.

you build em I break em

My wife breaks them too. you people in demolition are destroying art. some people don't think rusty old rigs are art though.

TTT.. and another picture... any help would be appreciated... someone help me find the boat!

You probably don't have a Hull# or you would have already checked with Cigarette. It's going to be tough because it has probably been painted since you last saw it. How could it be identified other than paint? Anything else stand out on it? There are a few old 36's around, but not that color.

Like this one

It could have been stripped to be redone and never finished (or started).

I'll get some more pics and info soon, I am waiting for my dad to get all his old books together.

Here are some more pictures of the boat.

Ernie

and an interior picture. I understand the paint may have changed?? But someone around here should remember this boat.

Ernie

Good luck on finding it, looks like a nice boat.

Re: Lost Cigarette
 

well no luck finding it yet, and no luck with dad's unorganized filing.... dad said someone that messes with top fuel dragsters in the las vegas area... he believes luxor??

I found more pics of the restoration last night.

Ernie

any help appreciated.... someday I might like to have the old boat back

Re: Lost Cigarette
 

i can see why you would want that rig back very very nice. good luck!!!

Re: Lost Cigarette
 

I know who has the boat - good friend of mine. The boat is all white now and sits on a new trailer He is currently trying to sell the boat. His name is Mike. When I saw the pictures I called him. His email is [email protected]. Good luck.
PS The boat is in northern Illinois

Hey EHawk40... my dad just told me he had seen the boat in Dallas a few times and even talked to the new owner when it was there... he just didn't want me to get interested in it until after college.... and I found it without him :D

thanks a lot all and I hope to get some more info on it soon

Ernie

I'm pretty sure that we have confirmed the boat mentioned by yss isn't the right boat..... thanks for all your help, and please keep looking for me.

Re: Lost Cigarette
 

Ernie,

Send Mike an email. If he doesn't get back to you right away let me know. He says the thing is in mint condition. Last time I saw it was 4th of July 2001 - nice boat. I may be able to go over there and take a couple of pics for you if he doesn't have any.

Bryan

Thanks for the help, but I don't know if it is the same boat. I'll have to dig through old paperwork... hopefully it is, but you freind said his boat was pink and teal, the drives on his boat are still pink, and my dad never would have painted the drives, also unless the drives were replaced, the boat isn't the same one. our drives for some reason had the skegs cut down and the picture that was sent to me does not.


thanks
Ernie

I can't tell for sure if it is state regestered rw Coast Guard regestered. If it is CC regestered then you can do a name search here.

Re: Lost Cigarette
 

Ernie,

That boat is the one that Geo was talking about in post #3. If that is not the boat you have posted pictures of it was painted nearly the same. Good luck.

No cigarette but I found a matching 21' Apache.... Good luck, I will keep my eyes open.
Jr.

Good luck the good thing is the brand name, that boat will be around somewhere.

You might try running the HIN in Texas.

I thought I had found the old boat, but upon closer examination it looks like the "large" hatch is aft on his and forward on my dad's.
