Good morning fellas, I'm a noob here and I started a thread on the Cig forum. What do you guys know about this boat?
http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/boa/637319598.html I appreciate the feedback it means a lot. Thanks guys.

That would be Dirty Baby, I believe...Bill Ferrahi's boat? If so, I've run with it before and tied up next to it in Michigan City a couple years back. Boat is in good condition phyisically...it ain't perfect but for it's age it shows well...if it's good mechanically, I'd say it would be a good deal. I've got some running pics of her from the Chicago Poker Run a couple years ago...I'll post them later on today.

Sorry, first pic is a 28 Apache...

Thank you sommer- I appreciate the feedback.. bump....

Good solid boat.
Great investment: Buy cheap, use for 4 years and sell for about the same money. Don't beat on any older boat to keep the costs down. I know it has newer drives and engines run great.

I do think it may be sold though. Someone from the east coast is flying in.

Seen the boat before he put it away for the winter. Last season he had alot of little things fixed and touched up on it. It's no 90 mph rocket, but it sure does crush any wave that lake Michigan throws at her.
The only thing i don't like about the boat, is the spot light on the front of the deck. I believe it has a triple axel steel trailer under it too, not a Myco or Manning, put a good name brand one, can't remember the brand tho.

Thought I had more pics of it. It's a real clean boat for it's age and $$$$

Now thats some feedback..... Right on boys! I'm the guy flyin in on the 20th for a couple of dyno runs @ Grandsport...If thumbs up than "its on!" I return on the 25th w the truck to trailer it home... Bill has been way cool to deal with I've got no doubt that he's a strait shooter, I just wanted to see what his brothers in arms had to say about the boat..

Don't know what kind of price he shot you, but back in January he told me what he wanted, and I told him he's crazy cause he's giving it away. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just not a rocket, and I think he'll be running quite a bit faster this summer in the other Cig.

Nice, yeah I run a 14 mile river over here and some Atlantic big water so she'll see some good duty. Its not the all out speed that I'm concerned with. You can't beat that classic style. When I'm not on my tugboat in NYC I work at a machine shop for one of the best local engine builders in the area, I think we can squeeeez a little more hp out of those 468s. I would like to run @ a solid 70 off the limmiters. Dunno we'll see when we take a look at the components, I have yet to see a build list for the mills....Thanks for you feedback, I'm not made of $$$$ so piece of mind is somewhat calming.. BTW, Bill told me some people were'nt so crazy about the light, hahaha....
