For lovers of adrenaline and vintage boats, we have scouted out two “missiles” from the 1970s in our classifieds board. If you’re already buzzing, buckle up and find out what we’re talking about below. And if you love vintage boats, your place is here: our “classic boats“.
A 1979 example of the Cigarette 35 Mistress, a Made in USA boat famous for her speeding prowess, is for sale. Visible on Lake Maggiore, she was the subject of a recent refit, which also included her showpiece: the engines. Landed and overhauled in 2025, now the two Mercruiser 7.4Ls have oversized pistons with hi performance heads, oversized intake kit, EMI Thunder manifolds and risers, and Holley fuel injection kit. The tanks are two, steel, 250-liter tanks each. The hull has been completely repainted, retaining the original coloring and graphics. Inside there is a double cabin in the bow.

This Magnum is the ideal boat for those who want to move quickly on the water and not only in summer. In fact, compared to a traditional “racing” speedboat, here there is an enclosed hard top with doors towards the stern which, admittedly, distort its sporty nature, but make it usable in all weather conditions. In the bow we find a double bed for nights at anchor, while the outside cockpit is occupied by sofas instead of classic sundecks. This Express can be seen in Salerno and is being refitted; the engines, two Cats with 425 hp each, have been completely overhauled and have zero engine hours.
