I am mildly thinking about buying this boat. The seller told me it only runs about 95MPH when I was guessing well over 100. What do you think about it? Bill

Beautiful Boat. They did a real nice job with the resto.
The sting of poor quailty far outlasts the Joy of a cheap price...
Best colors for a Cigarette
Looks to have all the right details
Great shape . . .
tear the waves apart with that one

I still think the 540 bulldog in the Magnum would've
been something special............but it's gone right?

Scippy,
It was going to be a 632CID/800HP, but I dropped the whole project. Engine was sold, but I still have the boat. A buyer for the Magnum got slammed in the stock market from what he told me.
Yes, it is fairly pricey but it has lots of top notch parts and restoration and trailer. I was figuring on offering a little less, but I am not positive I really want to persue it. I can say I am intrigued with it!! Bill

That is what I also believe it to be, but I am not an expert in that hull and year. Bill

Dave911,
You must not have read the rest of the thread where the actual price is around $140,000 on that boat. I really like the old school look and modern restoration done on "The Tribute" Cigarette. It is not a comparison thing to me since I have not seen any boat quite like it - I think it is awesome! It would be my dream to build up a boat like it, but I know it would cost a lot more to build than Jeff's asking price. Bill

Great looking boat. Probably the best color scheme ever for a Cig. I actually pondered trying to buy that one two years ago or so. (Was it the same seller? I seem to recall it being in NY maybe?) I'll be excited for you if you decide to do it.

Bill,
i guess what i need to get cleared up in my mind is this is not really a cig born boat.
the 27 squadron xii was first built in 1980 and was a stand alone Aronow owned company( started after he sold cig in 78) then sometime in 81 Don bought back cig( supposedly a deal that he could not pass up) and merged the two companies
wonder what the hin mic is? regardless it is a great looking boat and serves it's name very well. a very nice tribute. I mean the original cig wasn't a cig at all so i think this is very fitting

Hey Bill,
That's an exciting boat. I agree with Matty, I guess its a Squadron 12 if its an 82', I don't know how similar that hull was to the Mag/Cig 27-28s. Too bad the history isn't better documented... That engine/ drive package is top notch.
Keep us posted

My only concern is that it is a 30 year old boat and "restoration" has to be taken with a grain of salt. It is a beauty but be careful.
