1. How much gas does that thing hold?
2. How fast is that boat?
3. Man...how much would it cost for something like that? (if it is a teenager).

I never get the 454 line - I always get the 350 line...........

Plenty of Gas questions, plenty of speed questions, plenty of fishing questions, etc........

Where I live no one knows what a Cigarette boat is. They all think it is a cheap Fountain or Baja knockoff since they are more recognizable names.

I did have a girl at the docks one time tell me I needed to get rid of my off brand boat and get a checkmate. Although I like checkmate, I told her I needed to stick with what I had...........

LOL... I get the "That's an awesome name for a boat" since I guess with the custom paint and it being larger on the side now that I named it "Checkmate"

I hear the 454 line... once I was asked if it had a 350

How fast is it, what's it get for fuel mileage

My favorite though considering it's still on the trailer in the front yard was the guy that asked me if it had twins.... with the single bravo hanging out the back... oh yea buddy... definitely twins

I used to hand them the Miss GEICO team playing card that had all the turbine stats and then say that was the boat I had just beaten the previous day, weekend, etc.
