Really? So you base your professional opinion on the fact you've actually seen both boats in person?? I'm just confused as to what makes you think a "themed" boat would be more detailed as a boat that was actually built in joint with the actual theme company??

Great news on joining with one of the most respected performance monikers of our time. This can't be anything but good for the industry. Our GEICO Caveman/Mercury Cigarette's workmanship was beautiful!
and yes, I have seen the rendering of the AMG cig. truly amazing and will compliment Gino's (Gary/Randy) groundbreaking piece beautifully.
I know Skip (CLK Black) and I (S65) are big AMG fans, It's motivating to see someone take the initive and follow through on a vision. Congrats skip!

I would rather see Cigarette collaborate with Chevrolet and do a Duramax boat!

It's all good. It just rubbed be the wrong way. How can you make a judgement call on something you've never seen? That was my only point.

The mercedes Mti was a remarkable piece and regardless of who collaborates with who what could they do? Possibly an AMG powered cigarette but it is hard enough for Mercedes to keep one AMG running long much less twin powerplants. I may be proven wrong but I feel it is a safe bet.
