Cigarette Racing Team's Sexy Center Console Prepares For Battle
Long-known for its commanding visual appeal and underlying sexuality, Cigarette Racing Team is about to "go to work" serving the country's military and law enforcement performance boat needs.
For 40 years, Cigarette, the icon for all "go-fast" boats has built its reputation on quality, performance and visual appeal. From its boats to its sometimes risqué advertising, the allure of a Cigarette has been sex appeal and a commanding appearance. However, as the country's defense market grew supporting the Homeland Security, military and law enforcement segments, Cigarette prepared to serve its country. The company developed a "Military" version of its 39 Top Fish center console, providing a utilitarian, no-frills approach to changing a custom fishing boat into a sturdy, top-quality work boat.
The cockpit was designed with an all-digital console including GPS and Cigarette Racing's Military Boat DASHnavigation. The arrangement of the dash wraps around the cluster of instruments for ideal visibility. Throttles and trim tabs are practically located for ease of operation; the custom hard-top and support mechanisms remain as in all Cigarette center console models.
The custom seating is notable, utilizing Stidd Systems, a leading manufacturer of ergonomic marine seats. The model used was originally Cigarette's Military Boat SEATS developed for the US Navy Seals' boats and was modified exclusively for Cigarette to provide the proper center of gravity for the passengers and boat. The shock-mitigating seats are uncoated aluminum, with high-tenacity polyester upholstery, covering a proprietary foam base, providing safety for long duration and open water transit. Cigarette's construction team also created a custom support for the seats to provide optimal comfort, strength and durability in rough seas.
The boat is Mercury powered, as with all Cigarettes, and for its Top Fish, Cigarette prefers either triple or quadruple Verado® 6-cylinder engines. The Military boat is equipped with triple 300's-providing smooth acceleration, reliability and fuel-efficient power.
"This boat demonstrates more of Cigarette's diversity and ability to Military Boat's Enginesrespond to the market," states Skip Braver, President and CEO, "The US government requires only the finest products so Cigarette is pleased to be in strong contention for some upcoming contracts. The process [of acquiring government contracts] is lengthy but we know our Military 39 center console is up to the task and await our 'marching' orders."
Cigarette Racing Team's 39 Top Fish Cuddy and Top Fish Open will be on display at the Miami International Boat Show, along with the Military boat, and its full line up from 38-50' from February 11-15 at the Miami Beach Convention Center, Booth #B23.
Other additions to the Cigarette Racing Team line will debut at the show. www.cigaretteracing.com
