Anyone know anything about these? Supposedly ony 6 where made. Have a line on one and am looking for a new project for this winter. It's not a donzi, but it's a don boat.

You could use it to run drugs. The DEA would never suspect a thing.

This looks like the Cigarette 28 hull as a center cockpit . . IRC the wetted surfaces are the same as a Magnum 27 . . High Life has a Magnum 27 sedan with twin Merc 300 OBs . . I believe he has a GOS run close to 78 mph!

The 28 hull, as well as the Decathalon don't have the Cig flare out mid way down the side of the hull. I also think the 33 Cafe Open does not have that signature flare out that the 38 Top Gun does, as well as the pic of the 37 has.

It does seem small for a top gun hull, but it could look that way because of the different top deck and no shield... so I assume it in fact is a Top Gun bottom with a different top deck. Or, there is a chance that it is a 35' Cafe Racer hull and they are counting the bracket for a LOA of 37'

A cornerstone in the Aronow legacy, the Aronow 39’ represents the evolutionary pinnacle which produced Donzi, Cigarette, Formula, Magnum, and USA.




This truly special craft comes into its own under seas conditions that steer most high-performance, off-shore boats toward calm harbors. Engineering so sophisticated, performance so awe-inspiring, the U.S. Customs Service chose Don Aronow’s specially designed Blue Thunder for its flagship. With an 11 1/2' beam, this distinctive cat hull slices effortlessly through 4 to 6 foot seas.




The 39’ boasts speed and performance without sacrificing comfort and stability. Power options feature twin diesel or gasoline engines ranging from 370 hp to 750 hp, Stelling headers, custom exhausts, and #3 Speedmaster drives. A luxuriously-appointed designer interior, a bolstered racing cockpit, a plush double-bunk cabin and electric head are standard. Options include AM/FM stereo, cassette or CD, TV, video player, microwave, refrigerator and air conditioning. It all adds up into one incredible package.




The Aronow 39’… from the man who cmanpioned high-perofrmance, off-shore boating.

I'm getting a little worried about you guys. I post a pic of a 37' cigarette and one guy thinks it may be a 28', and now another one thinks its a 39 cat?:nilly:

I still think it's a TG center console or a cafe center console. Can't tell by the pics though. :popcorn:

The last picture shows what was missing in the first picture, the signature Cigarette ridge down the side of the boat . . . . .

so it's not a 28 . . ! ;-)
