New Boat

[PaulO]

Okay, it looks like this may be the end of my Donzi ownership. I found what looks like a great deal on a new boat. My only regret is that it is not a Donzi. However, it is a close cousin! I just made a deal pending a sea trial on an '82 Cigarette 20 footer. 91 454 Mag/Bravo, Silent choice, Tabs, Gaffrig, and all the other stuff. Clean boat although not in the condidtion of my Donzi. Hull looks exactly like a slightly stretched Donzi 18 with a little more freeboard. Hoping that this boat can tame some of the rougher water I encounter and still be fun. Real quality construction and a bit more room than the 18. I hope that if this deal goes through I can still be accepted by the Donzi Boys. The 18 is in the "for sale" section and I hope it finds a good home quickly. If Len is out there - there is no excuse for missing this one!!!
Let me know what you guys think about the cigarette.

PaulO,
What's up with the hinged compartment just in front of the windshield on the Cig?

[PaulO]

The hinged compartment is a great feature. It is an easliy accessible and fairly large storage space.

Ooooh!!! 20' Cig!!!! Now that's a boat I would like to add on to my collection, but they are rather hard to find. There were a couple of 20' Cigarettes down here for sale in Florida a year or so ago but they were too rough and too expensive (for me).

Congratulation!

Yes, that hinged compartment is one cool feature! You can fill it up with ice and your beverage of choice and still have room left over! I think that's one of the most unique things about the boat!

Paul, sorry I missed your call---I was on the phone with my boss...gimme a ring back when you get a chance.

[GEOO]

Paul, Sound's like another great find!! We better stop finding all these good deals; we'll go broke???? or get kicked out of the house?!?! Joking. Best Wishes. GEOO

The locker in fromt of the windshield is suppose to be a ski locker. Not all 20 footers had this feature. My favorite thing is the stainless wire railing that runs to the bow. This used to be on of my favorite boats. What i like is the width at the drivers seat, much wider that the 18's. The look cool. my friend Andy had one and the bow hatch had a teak inlay and was way cool . He called it Thumpper , he is out of Pt. Point Pleasant NJ. A great guy beautiful wife and great kids. The boat was a dry boat and road well.

Paul, any pictures of the new Cigarette yet?

They sure are a great looking boat.
Good Luck with the purchase. There are two around here in East Tenn.
