WOW,

This is an old thread, Never did get the 21, and saw one for sale recently. I ended up with a 24 Pantera outboard.

Thanks for the info.

Anybody know what this one is? It says Cigarette on the side - and it's small.

Wow this is an old thread but I thought I might add to it...

There was a 1987 21 Cigarette for sale up here about 8 years ago, it was rigged with a Merc 245 hp 2.5 carb motor, I do have pics of it somewhere as I almost bought it. I did take it for a test run... it ran very nice in a 8" wind chop into the wind. It was a straight V to the bottom of the hull had a power jack plate. It did have one problem I noticed which kept me from buying it... There was a crack in the gel coming from behind the piece of stainless that was bolted to the transom for strength, since I could not tell how bad this crack was and the transom knee on that side of the transom was broken off and laying on the transom floor... I passed on buying this boat. They were asking $13,000... I heard it sold for $7500 after sitting for like 4 years.

I did see it for sale on craigslist about a year or two ago in MA with the same motor with a blown powerhead.

DjMikeyC, Was the boat you mentioned All Red w/ white int ? Saved a listing dated 9/15/09 boat in Huntington,NY ask $6,500. I'm interested in a '86 O/B 200 Merc on Gill bracket, white hull. "HIGH LIFE"

Sure was... it was a great boat except for the transom issues I noticed and back then I did not want to get into a project boat. Here are some pics from way back after I test drove it

DjMikeyC, Thank you for the pics. Wonder where it is now ! Wouldn't mind doing some glass work. Did you feel confined being in the front seats w/ the console . Looked at some 20' Cigs w/o it, is the back seat comfrotable ? The spacer & jackplate is the way to go. How do you feel it handled during the ride ? "HIGH LIFE"

DjMikeyC, Just checked my notes and the ad did show a Ma reg on the hull. Good memory. Do you know anyone interested in a 16' DONZI O/B or a 27' MAGNUM O/B ? One is too small and the other is too big for me now. "HIGH LIFE"

HIGH LIFE - I actually liked the snug feeling of the seats with the console, only drawback was climbing in and out. I didn't have much seat time in it so handling is hard to say... what I drove it through it was nice. I did some research before I test drove it and what I found out was that it was originally rigged with a OMC 300 V8 outboard, this may be why the transom was has a crack (due to weight) coming from behind the plate that was bolted on the transom. It was also a NJ boat and used on the ocean there.

I called Cig racing back then for some info and I was told a total of 13 cig 21's were built and they were all outboards and rigged with OMC V8's. I was told they were built for a special class of racing that only used that motor. They were designed to run against the 22 Apache Scout and the 22 Velocity's of that era in that specific boat class. These 21' Cig's are different than the 20 footers as the 20 foot Cigs have the rounded bottom and the 21's have a straight V all the way down.

If it didn't have that crack and the knee brace laying on the floor I would have owned it.

HIGH LIFE - I did see that White 21 for sale with the 200 Merc. If it was closer I would have been interested in it... but not at that price with that power on it... it's gonna need more to move that boat to speeds I would like. Also makes me wonder why the cig logo on the side is above the side stripe and the one I drove had the Cig logo right on the stripe, I know the one I drove was all original, wonder if the white one was repainted or something. I also remember seeing that boat for sale a few years back in Ohio but I was too late when I saw the ad it was already sold.

There was an all white 21 for sale in FL with a Evinrude V8 outboard, this boat was pristine! I have seen a few over the years most all had OMC V8's on them, all were white or red.

I did see a red one for sale someone converted to an I/O with a big block chevy and a trs drive... that was cool.

News flash... I did a search on the net and found the old ad for that cig for sale when it was in Ohio a few years back... asking price was only $9000 back then... here's the link to the ad...

Fl Boat
 

I bought the one in Fl and couldn't be happier. The guy I got it from couldn't been any nicer and the boat is really well taken care of.

Cool,

is it still in FL? If you are in South Fl, I would like to see it, and maybe meet up for a run.

I understand boats better than I do posting forms but, here is a couple pics.

Great looking boat! Must run nice too with that 300 hanging off the back!

I wish I could take the credit for the condition she is in, but it was well taken care of by the previous owners. I just keep her the way I got her, clean and original. The Maytag in the back does run good but a little heavy. Like a small car. I tell people
"Thats my trolling motor". Extreme fishing don't you know. For the complex and playful two legged tuna.

Nice, get her up to one of our holiday runs this winter.

Do you remember the racing class they ran in was called? I have a 87 21 Cigarette outboard and would love to find video of them back in the day. The name of their class would really help

thread , Live ON !!!!
 

that boat looks like my old Cig, had it up on the chain o lakes(Northern Illinois) i then moved to south Florida (Cape Coral in 2004 , sold it on consignment at a small dealer on FT Meyers Beach , looks identical to the one in pic except i had a 300 johnson , white in color on a gill bracket, since then ive ran into the new owner at Ft Meyers beach, he blew the motor and put a suzuki 225 on it, big bummer ! i loved that 300, any way , I want that boat back or one similiar, handled awsome , if anyone has any info on my old boat or one similiar please contact me, great boat, awsome ride:drink:

Have a white one for sale in Florida. pics above jimmy6104

Recent photo's, how much $.

Make me an offer. Looks the same as the pics on page 6
Will take more current pics soon. The boat is in great shape. Always covered and flushed and cleaned when taken out.
Never abused.

Holy back from the dead thread.

The red one I saw numerous times around naples back n the day years ago.guy didn't seem to know what he had.

I may be interested in this one. Please PM me with some info, hours, price, pics etc

I'm looking for the same boat. My father bought one from one of the vp's from OMC in Waukegan IL from what I was told. Was all red with the white and black stripes down the side. Had a white Johnson v8 mounted on a black Gil bracket and a ugly ass tan boat cover.....Sold the boat at the fox river marina up in Oshkosh Wi cause mom wanted a family boat! Lol.... anyway, my father passed away a couple years later and since then I have been in search of this boat. I have great memories of this boat and I lost track of it. Last time I saw it was in a business parking lot in paddock lake Wi. Unfortunately I was unable to get a loan for it but still tried to keep track of it. A couple weeks later it was gone and haven't seen it since. If anyone out there might have an idea of where it might be at and if it's for sale please let me know. Thank you my offshore friends.
