its an 87 kevlar. The nada sucks on it but it is a kevlar hull so I don't know how much that increases the value??? it also has a drive issue that needs to be addressed.http://www.powerboatlistings.com/view/7645

Being Kevlar doesn't increase the value.
If it's COMPLETELY original, as in having a black dash, Stuart Warner gauges, the old school bolsters, horseshoe shaped cabin, no notch in the transom, TRS drives, AND it has some mechanical problems......I'd say $50k, MAX.

now that you brought up the dash and horseshoe seating I'll have to check it out a little better...its been sitting for a little while too but has been covered under a boat slip, will give it a real good looking over soon. info much appreciated!!:cheers2: will drop back in with info after inspection. thanks again guys:)

It counts, It looks great. I like the underwater lights.
Title says updated guns not frame off guns. Some people just dont know when to quit.

The dash is painted pearl white, you can just make it out. In the sun it realy pops.

Continously updated 93. Wow all of you have beautiful Cigs. Congratulations. I know how hard it is to keep them nice. Dnebo, do you like the windshied? I am thinking about building one.

I could not belive the difference like night and day. I would not have a TG without one. It is just enfough to knock down the heavy wind.

I know. There have been a dozen people in the last 10 years that were planning on making the brackets and everyone was going to buy one. It always seemed to fizzle out! I have a hard time paying $1500 for 125 dollars worth of materials. It would be a big upgrade to my boat because, for some reason, there are no footrests on the cockpit floor. My wife has to look around the wind flaps to see where we are going!

One more thing. Thanks for starting the thread Frank! There are some fine azz Top Guns in this thread!!:cheers2:
I think that the upgrade that was done to my boat that upgrades it the most is the 2002 raised engine hatch. Gives it a "newer" look.
