The Mr. Cigarette I am talking about is not baby blue and bubble gum, its black and purple with a checkered flag on the side.1

[QUOTE=thisistank;2401577]Dont take offense...But would I need to see a Revolution painted baby blue and bubble gum pink in person to have the opinion its horrid looking? Is seeing it in person going to change those facts!? I think not. Excuse my opinion though:Whatever:

Yes, you would because if you had the opportunity to see the original "Mr Cigarette" in person, you would know that the colors are slightly different from the new 38 copy. I spent quite a bit of time on and around that boat while it resided at LOTO and never heard anyone say it was horrid. BTW, you're excused...

i must be showing my age, I like it

later

oh yea the original was a rock'n boat, all though i can somewhat rember david scott saying (when he had his 42 triple fountain) he would just walk away from Mr Cigarette at will.

Christ Tank, will you do us all a favor and order a new boat powered correctly? That would help me know some true blood bro's still exist. :cool-smiley-011:

That's the new regime for ya. LOLFL. That 42 Revolution in that suit is the reason a LOT of the wannabe's today own offshore boats. The 38 isn't even the right shade of violet.

If anyone wants to get right down to it, the only boats worth discussing by Cigarette in the entire decade of the 90's was the 90MPH Edition, and Mr Cigarette.

Smoke that chit. I'm with Tony, Mr Cigarette rocks.

In my case, I had the opportunity to see Mr. Cigarette in person when Randy had it. I was a young punk kid that was dreaming big, but it was the reason that I became a Cigarette fan and hoped of owning one someday. It may not be the style that the industry is catered around today, but it is a piece of Cigarette history that any Cigarette fan is sure to appreciate!!!! It rocks in my book too! :cool-smiley-011:

i like the boat.

Tbone, love ya!.....Ok, ok...I'll concede that maybe if I saw it up close and personal I would have a different opinion on the color concept. And don't get me wrong. I highly respect that boats heritage and understand why it was painted the way it was (i.e. race boat/attention getter). And I do remember when Craig raced that boat back in the day. I just really never got the whole soft pink/teal color schemes out of Miami in the 80's.

From the photos I've seen (pre and post racing). It looks pink and teal. The new 38' is def. bubble gum pink and teal. And if you saw the cockpit, you'd want to cry.

Brandon, trust me, I'd love to do just that:D

I like the boat because of the history. Don't care for the colors but would have no problems owning the new just because of the tribute to the original.

From what I hear, the new version's paint blows the original one away. The original Revoulution paint cannot compete with the newer pearls and prisma paints that are available today.

I agree that the newer paints that are available today are much better than what was available when "Mr. Cigarette" was originally painted. However, I think the vibrance of those newer paints in copying this particular paint job is the main reason people dislike it. People assume that the paint is the same as the original and it is not. In my opinion, the original "Mr. Cigarette" colors were not vibrant by any means, they were dull. This is why I say it is just one of those boats that you would have to see in person to appreciate. Keep in mind that it was a race boat made of carbon fiber, you could see stress cracks all throughout the paint on that bad mofo. The paint was not perfect by anymeans, but boy was it an eye catcher...

What's the verdict now?

For those of you that really like it...it's for sale at Lip-Ship!!! Click on link for more info and pic's...including the groovy cabin.

I think its pretty cool......I think they should have put 1500 sterlings in it with #6's......At least then you could say it may be pink but is faster than yours.....The way it is know it would be a great gift for your mother in law

Verdict is...I'd still rock that b!tch even though I'm not fond of the colors and it's still faster with those 496's than my 95 gun!:D

And,....Philly put the ITS drives on so an upgrade in power is no problem.

is that the prince he built it for???

It would be a perfect boat for Anna to have as a sister ship to Enrique's boats. :evilb:

Or Tank would fit right in in Califaagia with that thing. :party-smiley-004:

Bro, I'll slap the banana hamock speedo on, blast YMCA and fill it up with the boys for a right good sausage fest!:eek::eek::drink:

F*ck it! I'd still rock it!:D

At least the chicks at Havazoo would like it. :cool-smiley-026:

Chicks ANYWHERE would like it, so quit hatin' you know your Metrosexual azz is just dying to get behind that wheel. Crank up the stereo with a little AQUA I'm a Barbie Girl rocking and you would be in business... LOL :D:cool-smiley-011:
Regards

What does that have to do with anything. You dont need ITS to run larger power. It's just Mercury's overpriced box and steering system and that when stuff goes wrong it makes it a more PITA!

LOL:D

That's right. I almost forgot. Most people don't prefer Mercruiser products. Now, if Ocean Perf had put ITS on that boat , it would be desirable right??

paul leave the kid alone.... he might be bigger than you...

dont let paul talk to you like that, stand your ground.. i do agree with him, and i hate doing that.....:party-smiley-004:

Hey did I forget to mention...
Philly put the ITS drives on so an upgrade in power is no problem.
LOL :D

You don't have to. I did.

No, not at all. Hey we do all our work!!! They've only touched our boat once or twice!! We prefer do do our own work since we are capable of it. So then prove me wrong what does the ITS have to do with adding more power?? Its still a standard XR drive. Fountain doesnt use ITS on their boats. You can have an XR without ITS.

Ohh okay, my bad... just making me sure we were all on the same page. :party-smiley-004:

You are WAAYY off. I would soo be Jammin' "I'm TOO SEXY" :evilb:

queer and sexy are two different worlds...:evilb::evilb:

Oh great...now the E Dock guys are gonna be pissed.

Steczy forgets that my peeps can beat the snot out of his peeps. On land OR water. :angry-smiley-038:

Remember, SBRT stands for:

cash, please dont make me hurt you.. i consider you a buddy.. i will however, sick masher on your queer ass....:evilb::evilb:

Masher has tried to jump on me. Luckily my girl can beat the shiit outta him one handed. :evilb:

She even threatened to bury him on his beloved Grand Lake property. :angry-smiley-038:

Here it is!
