Wow, good to know! Thanks for the recommendation! I just spent an hour reading up on issues that others are having. I will certainly try to check this issue out when I get the boat out of storage...

Wow, good to know! Thanks for the recommendation! I just spent an hour reading up on issues that others are having. I will certainly try to check this issue out when I get the boat out of storage...
This boat is on Lake George now as well. Currently going through a resto.
I've heard from others that there is a rocker in the cig 20 hull, so I believe you're correct in that regard. Currently, I'm running too flat. My intent is to run with a 4 inch prop depth, and find...
Thanks, Matt! Good to know all that stuff, will definitely help in the continued setup of the boat!
Interesting! Another thing i'll have to add to the list to work through. Again, not throwing any codes, so I think i'll have to go through replacing sensors one by one!
Thanks, Jay! That sounds about right! It's been far too long, would love to get together this summer!
Thank you! Still a work in progress.
Lets get together! The cig will definitely...
As promised, here's a few updates!
New scoops installed!

Next was the stereo install. Also in these pics you can see the aluminum black stripe which was installed as well.

Did you reach out to that guy personally? I had been in discussion with him about that particular hull as well, but I believe they actually had a few others. Of course, they were not in the best...
Haha, I would love to put the 565 in, but unfortunately that donzi is no longer in the family. I'm always keeping an eye out for a nice 525 which would drop in without the digital conversion, but it...
Interesting! I can confirm that mine has the shorter inner strakes, and is a ‘79. How do the shorter/longer inner strakes affect the attitude of the boat? That’s actually how I came across this...
Wow guys, its been a minute! I just posted (a few years late) on the 18 vs 20 vs 22 thread, and figured I'd come over here and post an update.
So I went with the 2 inch shorty, which has really...
I also want to clarify that I believe there are 3 "generations" of the cig 20. The first, through about 75, was setup for SBC. The second -- after 75 -- had a larger engine compartment and power...
Wow! Am I late to this thread, or what!? But I'm going to be that guy and revive this; I'm a big fan of sharing information for any one else who may be interested, and I wanted to share my...
Well, gee, thanks for the heads up!
:)
Pat,
I appreciate the input, definitely clears up a lot.
We put in a 496HO/Bravo 1x. According to Cigarette, you just can't get the x dim high enough, and thus the prop shaft is about 2...
Hi All,
Been quite a while since my last update. Getting excited for the summer. Hoping for a splash date this Tuesday or Wednesday....
Here's a pic taken by our good friend Jay on a cold,...
Just wanted to chime in briefly about this boat, because I believe I dug up some information about them when I was researching my Cig 20 about 2.5 yrs ago. If memory serves, Cigarette actually...
Couldn't agree more, Matt. It's not a secret handshake, its not even being a local. I don't live there so I can't consider myself a local, but I do spend as much time as possible there. And the...
I don't really pick off days to run the cig, I'm out on the lake whenever and as often I can get up there. You can bet that I will be blasting around the lake for 4th of july!
I can't say that there's a "secret handshake," and in all honesty I don't know any of the patrol at all.
However, I would recommend that if you're visiting lake george, when you go to buy your...
I'd like to chime in with my experience because it seems like there's a lot of Lake George bashing happening on just about every forum under the sun. I have nearly 25 years of experience at the lake...
Cool. What can I expect from the Rev 4? I apologize for my ignorance, but is it a bow lifting prop? I believe part of the issue I'm having - as discussed with Phil - may be too much bow lift, and...
Bill,
Thanks for the recommendation, i'll certainly look into the revolution. Also on the list to try, as you mentioned, is a hydromotive. And yes, we put 280 k planes on it, which are...
Just an after thought, I've taken the boat up to the mid 70's, and the thing got incredibly loose and squirly!!!! very scary!
Fortunately I've had more seat time and have gotten much more...
Thanks, Undertaker, I did speak with Phil recently. Basically came to the same conclusions that I had already found, which is i'll need to drag some tab for the porpoise, the Bravo 26P is generally...
