we should put together a weat coast cig regatta, all the west coast builders have them, why not the worlds best builder, even if we get no support from cigarette,we have enough of us on the west that have cigs and go to havisu ....maybe a good turn out.

A bunch of them cigar boats will be in Vegas on the 7th & 8th of October....

We have to start somewhere. Why not at a OSO national race.

Or a trip to Catalina would be more fun than Havi...

That is a great idea! There are a bunch of Cigs coming out west lately. Could be a good turn out. Catalina, Havasu, whatever. But you need to give a little more notice than a month there Chris.

By the way, what Cig do you have Moviemoney?

I got rid of a 94 tg ,now I am trying toput together a deal on a 89 bullet,that is in perfect condition.750 per side when I am done with her.I wanted some thing smaller for lake trips, but still big enough for the big blue ,with the wifes request of an enclosed head the bullet works for me.

Nice. not a lot of Bullets out this way. A Cig get together would be a great idea though....Look something like this....

hey,thisistank. How do you like your new graphics? I live about 6 min. from Teague.I saw the artical in pwb mag on the new graphics, the boat I am doing is all white so I call the placethat did yours,got a good price, so I may do the same.
any thoughts good or bad ? would you do it agin or any thing diferent?

I'll tell ya. Kim is great at the graphics co. She did a really good job with the vinyl and works with a design you come up with. To be honest I was really apprehensive about having the vinyl on. My last graphics were vinyl too and there was some areas where they rubbed and got damaged. So I was stressed about docking and tying up with other boats (fenders rubbing). But after using it last weekend and having an opportunity to have it docked and get pretty beat up by boat wakes there was no damage whatsoever. They held up really well.

They said it'd last 3-5 years no prob. If I can get 2-3 I'll be happy. Figure you can do new vinyl graphics (wtih a new design each time) every two years for 20 years and still not pay what one custom paint job would cost.

I would definitely say go for it! It'll be back out at Teagues in the next few weeks getting a new swim step put on. You can check it out in person.

Tank...a month is more than enough time to roll!!


Tank....set it up. Try to keep it in the '06 year.

There are two Cigs at Teagues this morning...42 straight and a 38 straight. Maybe we can have the Cig regatta at Teagues....
