Miami-Holy Grail

Come on you Cig. guys ,who think the Cigarette booth at the Miami boat show is the Holy Grail, how about sharing with us mere mortals, who had to stay home and work, some of the good,the bad and the ugly. (pictures if possible) It seems like this site has been awfully quite about the show and the Cig. display. I'm not trying to be tacky, just wondering where everyone is on this subject.

Nothin.. and it sucks !
I went Monday, the booth was slow, saw Skip on the phone, Erika sitting at a desk behind a boat reading a magazine (great customer relations) although I am not real customer, didn't see Phil, no girls on boats, or models walking around.. however it was Moday so I am assuming they were taking care of business and winding down after 4 days..

Boats... the light blue and yellow 39 was Unbelievable in person.. one of the nicest guns I have seen. the color combination is a lttle strange at first, but man it was perfection !! The 46 was real nice.. typical Cig colors and interior was really cool... The 50 Maurader.... well it was sold, so I will refrain from laughing my ass off at the color scheme and upholsery untill we know for sure it is going to Europe..

my 02 ... sorry no pictures, but there are plenty in th main section .

There were some skinny model chicks in a couple of the boats.

the poker run boat with the flat black vinyl stickers on the side is a really bad azz boat, until you realize that it is covered in stickers and not paint. Not sure f the reasoning behind that. I think we saw the european guy walking around in the gold one still trying to make up his mind on saturday. Good thing we told him how cool we thought the boat was.

I heard no less than 2 of the salesman in the booth say that the blue one was GAY. Not very cool if you ask me, but the boat is awesome with those trip 700's in it.

I had consumed about 20 beers and a lot of crown the night before, and was all ready on my 4th for the day when we went in the booth at noon, so my memory cells aren't exactly as good as they should be.

Over all, I thought it looked like a boat show booth should look. Nothing spectacular.

But, the only really cool booths I saw were the hatteras booth and the azimuth booth as the in the water show. Now those guys throw down some coin.

If I have to rate the convention center booths, it would be 1)skater - for most hardware. 2) cigarette - for hookers and class. 3) Hustler - for most agressive salesman. Those guys actually wanted to talk to people. They didn't just stand around with their noses in the air.

Eventually everyone might become a buyer. You shouldn't shrug them off just because it isn't today.

Where are the pictures of the new poker run boat? All I kept hearing about prior to the show was about some Nortech Roadster. Well, I say roadster moadster, who cares? Bring us the new 44 Cig poker run boat.
