There have been a number of boats over the years that seemed to have some importance and having some history but due to somewhat shady ownership they went away. Understand I'n not saying the current owners are shady !
Examples ....
1. The black Cigarette names "Longshot" I think. Once owned by Mr. Cashbrain. Where is it ?
2. The Cigarette Mistress once owner by Too Old. Where is it ?
3. The 39' white Sutphen also once owned by Too Old and involved in a #6 drive sale issue. I think he had some new power built for the boat but not installed. Where is it ?

In no way am I trying to stir things up. I was just curious as those three boats have a history and we're discussed at times years ago and they all seemed good platforms.
I know both the Cashbrain and TooOld history but just wondered if the boats are rotting away, being rebuilt/restored etc.. Nothing more.

I remember when He bought that from a guy out here in long beach. Fred did a lot of work to it but it was already a nice piece. He got it for a smokin deal too. Like 20-25k or something close to it as I recall.
Its funny, I was going through a box the other day and found a trick marine sticker and his card.Making the best in the industry BETTER since 1990...LIP-SHIP Performance: 305-933-9988

He sold Longshot quite awhile ago, and had a 38 Flatdeck a few years later.
Too Old's Mistress is owned by a guy on OSO that I believe goes by "Monty" if I can remember. He still posts pics of it from time to time, and it's still in top condition.
I can't remember the guy who bought the Sutphen, but it was somewhat parted out if I recall. It had new power & drives that Fred acquired for it, but never hit the water that I can remember.

Too Old's Mistress is now owned by "Cigrocket" on OSO. It's been treating him real well. He upgraded the drives to Konrad's a few years back.
While working in Chicago last week, I ran into some guys who are friends of the gentleman with the other Longshot. From what they said, nothing has been done to it since purchased from cashbrain. It's residing in a building north of Chicago.

Rice hauler was finally released from impound after the thieves were sentenced. They auctioned it off and a gentlemen from S. Florida bought it, fixed some things and put it up for sale on ebay. Don't know if it sold or not.
Collin, that cig is nice...What's the details on it? Any more pics?Making the best in the industry BETTER since 1990...LIP-SHIP Performance: 305-933-9988
