28 Cigarette SS project boat LUCKY STRIKE's old 28

[NJgr8ful]

Shame it has been treated the way it has since it left LS's hands a looong time ago, but it is what it is Selling for NO RESERVE. Complete boat, 350s exhaust, Volvos, trim tabs. Would be nice to see it restored back to health.

What a crying shame that was left like that and someone added that arch. $600 may be too much.

60K might bring it back to life.

Love the 28 Cigs but this one's a planter.:blush5:

Looks a lot like my Pantera when I brought it home, you should have seen the wifes face when I pulled up with it.

http://www.seriousoffshore.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7804 I made a decent offer, think I offered more than it is worth, but it has the 'cigarette' name and he thinks it's golden.

Oy vay, that guy should spend $30 for two jugs of gasoline and finally put that thing out of its misery.

I told him it was a thousand dollar boat on a good day..he seemed insulted.

If he gave a dam he would of put some soap on it before he took the pic. I bet it hasn't seen soap in 5 years.

 

[phragle]

soap?? it's probably been uncovered in the rain and snow for 10 years.....

Ok...I'm confused...I thought you found this boat on Ebay,but, you own it...
$2,600 is still strong on the boat...

 

[cashbrain]

And just my 2 cents...the twin 350's are the way to go.The BBC/454's made that boat very tail heavy and unstable

I don't own it Jack ... its on my trailer at the moment though. I know the owner and listed for him.

That boat is a LOOONG way gone. I really like the 28 cigs though. Are they cored or solid glass? I am sure all the structure needs replaced at the minmum.

 

[NJgr8ful]

I am not sure Trim. I would guess cored, but that would be just that, a guess. I also don't know if structure stringers are or would be damaged. Boat drained while it sat, no water accumulated in it.

I may take a closer look at it myself when I get time. They borrowed my trailer to move it, while I was away on vacation, now that is where it sits about 15mi from my house. I have not been to the boat or seen it in 2 years since I took all the pics you see. But for what he wants if stringers and transom are solid I may buy it myself.

 

[NJgr8ful]

Oh and BTW, owner says an original Cigarette HIN title can be obtained or produced.

Steve post the pic of Don A jumping in to drive the boat in Pt Pleasant. Very cool shot

:ack2: I wish he would, I'm getting kinda tired of the whole thing, answering questions and dealing with people RE: the condition.

Believe it or not, there is another side to why it's in the condition it's today ... and it is not a pleasant one and not his fault either. People see what they see and assume things, so there is no sense explaining cuz as I said earlier ... It is what it is.

:leaving:

 

[Trim'd Up]

I thought it was up over $1000 and now it is back to $787 or something. What is going on there?

Sounds like it would be an interesting story. That's what this place is all about, so spill the beans!
