Drove over to the Factory to take a look around, was greeted by Skip himself and Jarod Carter for a personal tour.

Great people with an AWESOME product.

Someday I am going to OWN a Cigarette!

Just a "38KV Scarab guy" for now....

You can tour the place?

Jeanette and I will be in Miami next month. It'd be nice to see the place and look at the toys...

You sure hit a home run with your choice of paint. I'm surpirsed (and glad for you) that no one has tried to copy that concept of plain, classic, let the lines of the boat complete the package. It's timeless. :sifone:

If I remember correctly, didn't you have a nightmare with a bad transport company and the boat went coast to coast twice to get fixed at the factory?

-Love to hear a video clip of the Fords!:drool5:

Yes but it was all worked out in the end. Dhlaw put some pressure on the trucking company and they finally made it right. Just cosmetic damage but still $20K to ship and fix.

I see some old school looks coming back. There are some beautiful restorations out there with simple old school paint. I have a little new school on the deck but it is relatively mild.

PS I have video (with sound) but am struggling to get it uploaded. New laptop coming so I may pull it off.
