Not as efficient as todays hulls, but still comparable to its competition for its time. For example, 37 OL GTX w/ 525,s = 92 ish.( same as Gladiator). While it may not be as efficient as a NEW Fountain or OL, it still not bad for its day.

Premier power is right . Cigarette is doing in its spare time ( between shows and sold boats) and Phil really does not want to sell it. He is buiding it for himself for poker runs and fun. Should be one hell of a boat!
