    I've been trying for YEARS to get some good shots of this boat for you guys. I can never seem to time it where I'm out WITH a camera, and he's out as well....

    Well, last Summer I was armed with Jay & his arsenal of equipment, so he was able to take some nice shots of this classic Cigarette. (That's E Dock behind it, where it's tied to the dock)

    It's been on Grand Lake since it was brand new, which I "believe" is about 1981-1982. The family that built it, had a 42 built as well with diesels, and painted both with indentical colors. They've been kept in near perfect condition their entire lives. It was really cool to see them both on the lift, side by side, as a kid.

    I thought you guys would enjoy seeing one of them. It's an all original 36 Widebody, with some general big blocks, and Stellings exhaust. For only having 400ish horsepower, this is one of the best sounding boats I've heard:










    The game continues this year to get you guys some pics of the 42.

    Thanks again Jay!!

    Very cool! Love the old classics, great lines.
    There was a very similar 36 in blue that was for sale in the Detriot area. Anyone know where it went?

    Thanks for posting

    Not sure where the blue one went... here's a pic of when 'it' was new at the NY boat show, and a few from the ad. I love these 36s.

    Very neat boats.

    Brian Snyder's silver 36 is absolutely stunning. I'll try to find some pics.

    Marc Berman tells some pretty interesting stories about racing the 36. He says that over 100mph the bow gets pretty flighty- he attributes this to the bow flare.

    One of the cool things about the 36 is the wide gunwhales. Plenty of room to get up to the bow and lots of side storage.

    It's probably a combination of the bow flare, and the difference in balance created, as the solid rocket fuel burns off to get the boat to 100

    Whatever happened to Marc's boat? Last I knew he was lengthening it, and it was around the shop. I go to Marcs at least once a month, but usually just to pick up parts, and never get past the front desk, next time I'll have to ask.

    Bryan's boat is just incredible. The attention to detail rivals the factory!

    Here's a few pics from the LEOPA Poker Run.

    Same here. I lived across the street from them in OKC, and their son Justin was a good friend of mine. As a result, I got to ride in it a few times back when it was the undisputed, uncontested, BADDEST boat on the lake. I think it's top speed was like 70-75. It was constantly broken down I remember.

    Their 41 with Cat diesels, was a killer machine too.

    Two things I love about this design is the crisp lines of the deck, windscreen and the raised engine area and the fact that the windscreen flows seamlessly back into the engine cover/hatch area. Oh yeah, the fact that the cockpit and engine area don't take up the entire hull width is also a design strength.

    You just don't see them like this any more.
