Did you guys see the advertisement on the back of the last issue of Power Boat mag? They call it the 46 Rum Runner. Cool name. Rough Rider sounds like a porn name....Not that theres anything wrong with that!

"Rum Runner" is the name of a customers new Cigarette that will be at the show. It is not an actual "production" name.

Is it the same boat that is on the back cover of the most recent Power Boat Mag??

I haven't seen the back cover. It has a pirate type sceme on it. A customer ordered it that way.

"Rum Runner" is a one-off boat design ordered special by Cigarette. Designed and painted in Elkhart, Indiana. If you see it out there, I designed and drew all the skulls, bottles, details, maps (which was used as a background and Galleons in the paint job, as well as all the dash panels and grab handles etc. in the boat. I researched Spanish Pirates and Galleon ships extensively before diving in to that project. The detail in the Pirate ship paint was amazing - I put hours and hours into the fine details like knots in every link of rope etc.. it was one of my favorite projects to work on.

I've been involved in the design of MANY of Cigarettes show boats (if not ALL of them) for the 2003/2004 season. Any questions, just ask me!
