I've got a lot done. Mostly cosmetic, just haven't had time to post pics. I'll get some up tomorrow.

Here is what it looked like when I started.....

While waiting on paint to dry, I ended up stripping all of the cables and wiring. The wiring was a rat's nest so, I decided to start from scratch. Before.... Next on the list is to repair the cracks in the cockpit floor and deck, so that both can be re-painted.

Plan is to put a set of 383's in the engine room, but first it had to be stripped, cleaned, and re-painted. First I stripped the engine compartment, and ended up with a pile of parts. After about 10 pressure washings, lots of degreaser, and a ton of elbow grease, I was ready to start...

Here is some pics from when I picked it up........

Since this was built in early 1972, HIN's weren't required. It was titled in March of 72. HIN's were required after November 1973. Cigarette applied for their MIC code, "CRT" in August of 1972 I called Cigarette, and they don't have records prior to 03, and have no way to track it down. As...

Don't worry, many more pics to come! I am going to start a thread on the rebuild of this boat. I have just been cleaning out the years of leaves, and getting the engine bay clean and ready to re-rig. I have plenty of pictures of what it looked like when I picked it up. As for the drive, I am...
