You can definitely get this boat on the water for less than 30k. Just have to be very careful in your purchases and plan ahead!
My hawk will be ready in the spring with Ssm 3's and 600-650hp blower motors for way under 30,000 total "investment"

and with the economy ive seen several sets of blower motors sale way cheap, i know what it cost to build a pair with good stuff, and some that are in the classifieds are a deal atleast if they have what they claim they have in them, theres a few guys that have bought what were supposed to be 540ci plus only to tear them down and have 502s

Is it just me but does your boat look exactly like a 38KV Scarab? Did they share hull designs?
I always wondered about that, the flat deck Scarabs and old Flat deck Cigs look very much a like....

I'm not 100% Sure but I dont think they are made from the same mold.however they do share some caracteristics. I think the KV has a wider beam. I think it's very possible that some design ideas came from the Cig. Larry smith was the designer for scarab and I would imagine he designed his own boat. I have always thought they look very similar, maybe someone else would know more.
