Default 1975 Cigarette "Awesome"

Stumbled across this boat doing some internet searching. Not sure of the history behind it.

Cool old boat! Should be an Excaliber hull if I'm not mistaken. Bet is eats big water, but probably only a low 70's boat? Maybe even high 60's

No, it is not an Excaliber, but is a Cigarette hull that was made in 1975 and 1976. The Awesome model had the raised deck for more cabin headroom at the expense of aesthetics. Came with twin 454 330hp Mercs and TRS drives. I owned one.

It is the same hull as a misttress but has a raised deck so it was called awesome. Big heavy solid boat defines wave crushing
