Best years for used 35-38 Cigarette
 

Considering a used 35-38 Cig. (less than 15 yrs. old) and wanted some advice on what years to look for and avoid. I know company ownership and design changes have occurred over the years. Had a friend that cracked the hull in a brand new 35 out in the L.I. Sound back in 1985. Cig fixed it but the boat was heavier than ever after that. Never found out if it was a flaw, but he did hit hard off of a monster wave. Anyway, I've tried to contact Cigarette support, emailing them twice over the last year about what years they made hull changes. Got no reply at all so I assume they don't care about their used market customers. Any info from the owners here would be greatly appreciated!

I don't think there were any bad years. Certain years they didn't make as many. Got a nice '91 for sale, new engines w/34 hrs, TRS, CLEAN.

How much are you planning on spending? That will dictate what year, power, size.

Lucky, you only have 34 hours on the engines? It seems you are out nearly every weekend. When were they installed?

Re: Best years for used 35-38 Cigarette
 

Joe, I'd look for a nice Cafe, preferably with Bravos and an updated dash. What was the last year Cig made the Mistress? Didn't Don A say the Mistress was the best offshore boat he ever drove? Of course, there have been a lot of others designed since then.

Re: Best years for used 35-38 Cigarette
 

The Mistress is a good boat if it is a Kevlar one because they are light. The Fiberglass Mistress's were heavy tanks.

I sent you an e-mail.

Joe -

I would take a serious look at OSO member Sean's '87 Cafe Racer...

Super clean, new motors, dash and just installed brand new hydraulic steering.....

yeah, i said little... you old bag...

Re: Best years for used 35-38 Cigarette
 

Thanks for the feedback. I'm saving for the new boat so didn't join the paid section!!!
It's tough to get both ride and speed when looking at some of the older technology. Despite being on a budget, think I'm still past lookin at TRS's. How bout the 35 Playboy model - what's different from the cafe?

Re: Best years for used 35-38 Cigarette
 

What price range are you looking to be in....That will decide what year/model. Playboy is a Twin Step. The Cafe Racer is a straight bottom.

Concerning your ride and speed....If you get a light boat either Kevlar or Carbon Fiber they don't take that much power to move.

We have 525SC in a Carbon Fiber Gun with TRS and we can run 74-76.

I'd recommend you see the Kevlar TG with twin staggered 1000hp Tyler Crockett engines, #5 drives, and cover girl cabin in Texas, it is extremely clean and.....oh, wait, I can't, I just bought it!.......... :eek: :) :) :)

Re: Best years for used 35-38 Cigarette
 

Sweet! Let us know when you get it and I'll be down for a ride with the camera!! :D

About $100-$120K. You can pick up a nice cafe for the on the $70-80K range I would think. The only playboy I know listed is $212K. You also might consider the 35 top gun of which there are 10 made. i've seen a few of them priced at the $140 range

Re: Best years for used 35-38 Cigarette
 

200k-120k=80k

he meant the diff. in price JR
