1979 Flat Deck Cigarette / 2009 update

[Top Banana]

What was the DESIGN FEATURE Charlie ? Just more rocker in the last 5 feet of the bottom on the 35 ?

Yes.....that was a new idea back in the day.

That is why the 39 didn't work that well, it was a stretched 35 and the rocker was never adjusted to compensate....it was a real flying machine.

Jacoby took the 39 mold and blocked it to 37.6 and that worked and has forever lived as the Top Gun.

Really love the look of the old style concave topsides.

I know a convex topside yields much more strength but that slab side with the crease going down the middle never really did it for me. Was there any performance advantage or was it just a keep it trailerable at 8 foot thing.

Thanks for the info Charlie.

We had a chance to check Brian's Cig out yesterday -

SPECTACULAR

Fit and finish is incredible, attention to detail is second to none. Awesome job!

Brian, thanks for showing it to Beth and I Saturday.

Here's a few 33 shots. I have always loved the lines of this boat.

Hey, where did you get those???

Somedays I kick myself for selling, but then somedays I just pound my head on the desk. HA!

I know it's being enjoyed up in the Chicago area. Who knows perhaps it will come back my way someday.....

congrats..that boat is off the hook. The paint job doesnt get any better..the dash is a work of art..from the throttles to the adjustments on the drives and tabs..nice and easy to work on the engines as well. one heck of a restoration.
10+

That greyscale paint job is perfect. I really haven't seen anything like that before. Congrats on that boat.

Beautiful Old School ride...
The first boat I was on that did 100mph was BAM,a 36 also.
Amazing boats.I almost bought that 33 from the banker that owned it up by the chain.Took it out in very snotty water on Lake Michy and it took a beating.Is the wood dash redone? It had alot of wood...

[Holy Smokes]

Ya... the teak was freshened up along with new Livorsi's and a complete interior. It was a blast to own and always got the looks on LOTO

It's back on the 'Chain in fact it's right back to the same address it came from 4 years ago. Look for it and send me pics of it in action.

[cashbrain]

Very nice...I shoulda bought it.It really is a nice piece.He had a 36 also..
all white with 468's if I remember correctly.Not sure where that went.
You cleaned up the boat alot and did a very nice job.

[Knot 4 Me]

This boat makes my pants fit tighter. Very nice!

Here is a photo of the boat in 1980. The boat was called Rated X and had a naked lady on the sides or bow. Owners nickname was Buddy Crisp, he's from NJ but the boat was located in FL. Would love to know more history on the boat.

Here are pics of the dash from 2000 rehab and the idea of the new dash.

[ONTHEEDGE]

And the new dash...

[MattBMiller]

The 2000 rehab looked great, but it's just sick now!! Love it!

[J-Bonz]

And the new dash...

Nothing like a subtle paint job. That boat is classy, something our community has been missing for a while.

Amen brother! Testify!

Super classy.
This is VERY similar to what I have in mind for my Pantera.
I think alot of the natural lines and design of the boats today are lost by some of the over-the-top paintjobs.
I appreciate what it takes to execute some of those paintjobs, but in the end, they don't enhance the boat. Just an opinion.
This boat was done exactly the way I like to see them.
