In Malta they had problems with engines keeping revs and in italy the drives hit each other.
A defect common in this cigarette is that it takes a lot of air.

if I had to give A rating For this boat I'd give it 86%.

should you need more info please contact me.
Thanks for the info. It was the first time I'd seen the boats besides when it was at the factory being rigged. Thought it kind've odd no one had been talking about it since Cigarette hasn't really commited to racing since Skip took over.

What type of Mechanical probs does it keep having?


By the way, it appears P1 is the real deal....Wish the states could get their sh!t together
