Not a Cig.........

This is an early 70's Cigarette 24......much cooler in my opinion.....:)

Just some pics I pulled off the net......all the early 24s I've seen pictures of had the teak deck. I think they're pretty rare though. These early 24s had a 7'10'' beam if I recall.......kind of a short Mag 27 Sport.

There were some later 24 Cigarettes that had a narrower beam of 7'4.5"

Here's a couple more early 24s......some had twin inline 6s.....also twin v8s....302 Mercs if I remember right.

Yellow paint is not original...(obviously?)....:)

The white one is a member here I think?

What drive is on the Ebay boat? Almost looks like an old Volvo upper with an "E" lower ?

I like it but does anyone else think it needs larger trim tabs?:eek!::eek!::eek!: Maybe it should be listed as a 27' model w/ those installed.

I'm gutted, would have been VERY keen. Thanks Superhatz.
At least I know about that Sierra site now. Will keep an eye on it.
My dad knew Arnold Glass very well, I'm gonna check on his old boat... Apparently he bought Don Aronow's original Cigarette and raced it in Australia way back when.

Cheerio

Oh.....too bad the blue one is gone.......hopefully the new owner won't screw it up.....:wink:

The white one is owned by a member here named "boatnut"......maybe it's for sale?

Yup, not a Cigarette. Looks like a 24 P&D
