Other details

As it has for so many years, the Cigarette 38 Top Gun continues to define offshore “go-fast” prowess, and real-world trials in Fort Myers, Florida, reaffirmed its standing. The boat evaluated was equipped with a pair of Mercury Racing HP525SC supercharged engines matched first with Bravo Three drives featuring reinforced HD sport gear cases, and also configured with 1.5:1 Bravo One drives turning stock Bravo One 15 1/4" x 32" propellers with outward (counter) rotation—an arrangement that carried the bow high with ease and delivered superb low-speed maneuverability around the docks. The stepped-bottom hull inspires confidence: two steps, the first aligned with the fairing and the second approximately 6 ft aft, with a sharp keel running through all three running surfaces. A 4-inch-wide chine continues through all steps, and of the four strakes only the outermost carries beyond the first step. At the transom, a 10-inch-wide notch completes a configuration that rewards decisive helming. Like any well-sorted stepped hull, it carves best with the drives set neutral or just above; in slalom drills at 30, 40, and 50 mph it earned high marks, while sweeping turns at speed felt equally composed. Offshore, the precision mold work—sharp keel and laser-straight strakes—pays dividends: in 3- to 4-foot seas it knifes through with aplomb, the kind of sure-footedness that makes short work of the famously confused Atlantic inlets on Florida’s east coast. Add throttle, a hint of negative tab, and break on through. Fit and finish are equally exacting. The hullsides are fair from bow to stern, the perfect canvas for dramatic custom paint—red, white, and blue fades crisply divided by hard color lines—with the deck rail artfully blended into the graphics. Protection comes via an anodized black aluminum rub rail with a rubber insert that visually disappears into the scheme. A new-style aluminum swim platform integrates a ladder that drops between the drives, accented by a Cigarette logo at center; the side support rails can also serve as impromptu swim ladders. Lift the hatch—positive-molded on the underside and upholstered topside—and the engine room reveals race-bred detailing: Mercury Racing side-by-side race mounts bolted to white powder-coated L-angles through-bolted into the stringers; batteries ratcheted down in aluminum boxes topped with powder-coated diamond-pattern step plates; identical diamond plate capping the voids between the outer pair of stringers. Marine Machine sea strainers are through-bolted to either side of the center stringer, and all four trim pumps sit low on the firewall just forward of twin doors granting fuel tank access. Rigging is race quality throughout, with stainless cushion clamps exceeding Coast Guard spacing standards every 12 inches and neat nylon ties completing the runs. Most wiring routes into the engine space through a starboard rigging tube, while shift and throttle cables disappear beneath the gunwales and reemerge at the transom for clean, straightforward serviceability. Inside, simplicity serves speed. The padded vinyl headliner is bonded directly to the deck’s underside; a proprietary, Cigarette-patented forward hatch proves stouter than common alternatives. At the bow, a zippered vinyl drape bearing the Cigarette logo conceals the forward-most stowage. The berth itself rests on nylon fabric stretched around its perimeter like a trampoline beneath a thin cushion, delivering meaningful weight savings and a surprisingly comfortable place to stretch out. Aft of the berth, you’ll find twin facing table lounges, a full head, and a full V-berth, with two clever mesh nets to keep pillows secure when you charge offshore. Exit through the manual sliding door to a cockpit that is as beautiful as it is brawny: stout manual dropout bolsters up front and an innovative three-across rear bench with high backs and two drop-down armrests, all made more livable by a functional windscreen. Few boat names perilously approach becoming common nouns; Cigarette has come close, yet continues to build boats that are uncommonly good.

Features

Thoughtful equipment complements the Top Gun’s performance pedigree. Shore power inlet streamlines turnkey dockside living, while the electronics suite—depthsounder, plotter, autopilot, compass, and GPS—delivers precise situational awareness from harbor exit to offshore sprint. On board, an electric bilge pump works in tandem with a manual bilge pump for redundancy, air conditioning keeps the cabin comfortable, a refrigerator preserves refreshments, and a battery charger maintains dependable starts and steady house power.

Propulsion

Power comes from a matched pair of Mercury Racing HP525EFI engines from 1996, each rated at 525 hp with approximately 250 hours, delivering the immediacy and stamina expected of true performance machinery. The inboard/outboard configuration runs on gasoline and swings 4-blade propellers engineered for bite and balance, translating refined throttle inputs into crisp acceleration and sustained high-speed composure.

Specifications

This 38-footer balances muscle with measured detail: cruising speed is 55.61 kn with a maximum of 66.04 kn, and a published range of 0.87 nm underscores its focused performance mission. Length overall is 38 ft with an 8 ft beam, and dry weight settles at 9,175 lb. An electric windlass simplifies anchoring, deadrise at the transom is 22 deg for offshore poise, and the electrical circuit runs on 12V. Fuel is carried in a single 776 gal aluminum tank, and accommodations include 1 head.
