20 & 24 cigarette hulls what are they going for

[cosmic12]

What is the diff between the Cig and an Apache? Dave don't you have the Apache molds?

You didn't say what brand or size, but I would think first, take a look at the same size boat in today's market.

see title of thread , when i say vintage, i mean old and still a solid hull..nothing to do with racing or who owns it...

just asking what are people getting for these old hulls ,models.. that's all...

I have seen them go for $500 and I have seen them go for $10,000 for a good solid vintage hull.

Like the 24 I got from you. I remember you having it on Ebay several times and finally I just couldn't stand the thought of it being turned into a planter or left to rot. I think you sold it to me for $800 on an Ebay no-reserve auction. It cost me twice that to get it home. That's for an exceptionally cool, very rare hull.

And for the 20's, at some point there will be no more $2000 barn finds left. Then guys that want $150K LipShip 20's will have to spend $20K on half-assed shoeshine restos and throw everything but the bare hull away before shipping them to Phil. But we're not there yet.

Isn't there a 24 on OSO now for around 30?

 

[Chris]

Yeah- looks pretty nice too.

 

[cosmic12]

Who's running up the bid on the one on E-bay? Its gotta be someone here, I hope. We really need a spot on here for resto projects as there seems to be a few of these happening.

 

[Chris]

The guy has two of them- he probably knows what it's worth- so do many people these days. They ain't makin' no more of 'em. And it has that magic Cig oval on it.

I realize it may not be "vintage" but what happened to the 24 Cig built for Factory 1 Racing?

 

[Wild]

mine would sell for $19,000 - turn key classic

The red Miklos and Masry boat? Masry still has it I believe.

Nice boat, Randy. Wonder if I can sneak it past the wife... :sifone:

i get more people checking that boat out at the dock than my 38

Both are very nice. I would love to bring this home to tinker with and blast around in on the local pond. Just no room for it and I refuse to let any of my vehicles/boats sit outside.

unless im mistaken, that was the ollerman boat...sold on craigslist for no money... and the other boat in the picture is a donzi x-18...not a 20 Cigarette and it's for sale too.

your right, I do remember it. I have a feeling the people bidding are going to be hurt when it goes up high, and doesnt go anywhere. the bids look fishy to me, same few people getting it up there.

Wonder if the offshore boats of late 60's through early 80's will ever become popular some day like the muscle cars did.

If they are still in one piece hell yea!:drool5:

NOPE...

Look at it from the perspective of who has and loves cars to who's ever even been in a boat? Then add in the fact that boat hulls do not hold up nearly as well (due to the environment they live in) as cars do, and restoration is not nearly as easy. The marine industry as a whole is 20 or so years behind the automotive industry and due to demand there is not the infrastructure to get some of the parts as there is in the automotive industry. The last thing you're looking at is Go Fast boating has always been a Big D*&K contest, the new guys getting into it don't know the history they just want to know their boat is faster than their buddies...

There will always be value in the older boats to those of us that fell in love with that one model when we were kids, or that we raced or whatever. Guys will always want an old Flat Deck Cig or 21' Shadow just like certain cars that aren't worth a dime to anyone else are worth big bucks to some of us because it holds memories..

Will someone in the know please tell me what the difference is between the 20 Cig and the 21 Apache? I know the 1 foot thing but there must be something because there is a certian 21 Apache W/a small block that I keep watching and it just doesn't seem to bring the interest of a 20 Cig, I just don't understand why. Someone has to have an answer.
