for sale
1972 cigarette racing team 19
a true piece of history from thunderboat row on 188th and don aronow and his design team at cigarette racing .
power and mechanicals
the boat was fully restored in 2004 with originality and reliabilty in
mind. the boat is powered by the original motor a chris craft chevy LT1
corvette 350 ci engine mated to a volvo penta aqua matic 270 outdrive.
then original color scheme of black and yellow was updated from gel to
paint. awlcraft 2000 jet black with awlcraft yellow stripes. the
standard teak stripe and wood work was upgraded to marine mahogany with
a few coats of varnish. the original chris craft exhaust setup and raw
water system were removed and upgraded to stainless marine exhaust with
a cross over cooling system. these upgrades gave some performance
enhancements with a weight reduction and allowing the motor to breathe
better. the original risers are available and will go with the sale of
the boat. the wiring and electrical harness was replaced. the motor has
new edelbrock aluminum heads increasing the horsepower to about 350hp.
the boat will also come with a custom made black tandem bunk trailer
made by performance trailers of warrensberg ny. the boat has a 23 solas
prop and will run high 50's just to 60 mph. you will not find a better
riding 19 foot boat out there.
history
this is a 2 owner boat which has lived it's entire live on greenwood
lake ny. 1972 was the first year for the cig 19, it would later be named
the 20. there was no change in length but do to uscg regulations at the
time for floatation foam in 19 foot and under, the boat was called a 20
in 1973. the original owner purchased the boat at the 1972 ny boat show
which was held in dec of 1971 at the nyc coliseum.i believe this to be
cig 19 hull number one. the boat and motor were built in fall of 1971 a
year before the uscg made stamping hull identification numbers on the
right side of the transom mandatory. during the restoration some unique
facts have been uncovered on the boat. when the original front buckets
seats handwritten marking cig 19 were found . these were written by the
workers at bilt-rite interiors who did all of the interiors for the
early donzi and cigs from 188th st. when the heads were replaced it was
also noted that certain design features and materials that were used
were only made in the 1971 version of that motor. this is a true piece
of history that can be used and enjoyed
There is nothing this boat needs. It has sat on a lift since its restoration and is immaculate.
I have been to a few gatherings and poker runs and feel great when people walk past a 300K boat and walk up to mine to see what it is. This is the one to own if you want a 20 that has been restored to original with some modern day updates.
I am asking 30K or best offer. (includes $3500 trailer)

Michael....wow. You have quite a memory. Dick Dubrow did say he bought if from Don himself. He lived in Queens and had a summer house in Greenwood Lake, NY. I went out with his daughter Karen in the late 70's and used the boat all the time.
Funny how it came into my posession 20+ years later and is still on Greenwood Lake the past 40 years (20 of them in storage).
Do you have any written information on this boat such as a bill of sale or build sheet. Anything would be greatly appreciated.
Great hearing from you and your recollection of the Dubrow's.

Very nice. I had a '76 that was very much like this, the same black deck, and sides, with the traditional raised engine hatch, black interior with red, orange and yellow piping that matched the exterior graphics. However, it had a TRS with a 406 I built. Gosh, I miss that boat. I'm still praying for the day I stumble on it again somewhere! Nice job!!
