Scippy, congrats! I really don't understand the "tow it or ship it" comment, I do understand 6 mo. storage in Fl and cheap flights to/from Orlando and cheap renta cars. Heck while it is already there why not take advantage of the situation. Anxiously awaiting photos. I'll send you some of my progress soon, getting closer.
Best of luck and have a BLAST on the water. |
Attempt at humor, just poking you in the ribs to use it in FL while it is there already. Pics please.

That's a lot of boat Pete! Awesome and congrats!!! Keep us posted.
|
Those are long tail pipes!!! Clean looking boat!!! Congrats!!!

Pete, the "new" boat looks great. I'll always have dock space available if you want to visit :)

Pete I know how you feel after I finished my sport I took a break before starting the sedan's restoration thinking that would make this next project easier, NOT !! After a 2 year break I find myself moving at half the speed I use too doing any of the work now on the sedan. At 62 the body just does not work like it use to especially when you are doing all the restoration yourself. I will finish the sedan because my sport is a great boat but down the road the small cockpit & cabin that it has will be traded for the sedans higher sides larger cockpit & real cabin just like your new Cigarette. Funny though I just had this conversation about age & running out of energy with a good friend of mine who restored many cars & boats that because of his age he just wants to maintain the his toys he has not do any more total restorations. Pete if the Cig fits your needs I don't blame you one bit enjoying the new boat this year with the family is what it's all about. Mark

I'm sad to anounce, but I'm selling my 27' sport Magnum it is a 1976 hull less engines and drives....it is not a finncial bind that causes me to sell just making room for the new boat.
I've come to the conclusion that it's restoration is still several years off and most certainly at the age of 64 time becomes more precious for me and my family.....I've owned the sport now for 6 years and spent hundreds of hours just on the hull (it's perfect structurally)........I was just about to turn the corner and start rigging when an oppurtunity presented itself too good to deny!.............I'm giving a few local friends first shot before I advertise...................I'll still be in the Aronow family of hi po boating, but rather, this time on the ocean boating. |
