Just getting a few more pics up now that I am back to normal bandwidth again.

Beautiful.... timeless/classic lines!

Way too cool looking. The SS anchor storage locker on the bow deck looks the same as the Magnum 27 sport. What years were the 24s produced and how many were made? Did all the 24s have the teak treatment on the deck? Bill

Is that deck in as good a shape as the picture would lead one to believe? Let us know the background of the boat when you can.

How usual or unusual is the teak deck on a boat of that type? I have not seen this deck treatment before on a boat of this type.

Nice boat, good luck with it.

Thanks all, I'm pretty excited.

I believe it is the same anchor and mount, or virtually so. I think the first Cig 24s were only made for a couple years, if that, in the early 70s. This one is a '72. The Firefox is a bit different, and dates from the late 70s best I can tell. I don't know if they made the early ones in anything but teak. I haven't seen any that were not teak, however. I have seen a few threads/notes that say only seven were built, but don't know for sure. In my surfing, I seem to have come across maybe 5 of them. Hotboat on .org just told me he's restoring one, and I am eager to learn more about it.

It's not perfect, but it's pretty good. Teak was completely replaced in the 90s I think. 3 owners, best I can tell. FL 'til about 2000, LOTO, then me here in MD. Twin inline sixes, upgraded to 292s (from 250s) and upgraded to new Alphas in maybe 1997. There is a little of the history of the model in here: http://www.bananaboatco.com/history-24.htm

Wowsa , a real live trip down memory lane ... sigh

I wish I had kept all of my old brochures from back in the day ..

IIRC the line back then was 'Inch for inch , pound for pound , horse for horse..'

Really nice boat . Kind of like a high end GT21 on steroids.

Awesome!!!!!!

Here's how the "restoration" would go if it were mine:

-Find two small original-style cursive Cigarette decals.
-Done.

Not being a dik...I love this boat and you should prolly just sell it to me.
