There weren’t 3 coins in the Fountain at the Jacksonville River Rally Charity Poker Run, but there were 3 Smokin’ Cigarettes! Skip Braver and crew brought a 39 Top Gun Unlimited, a 39 Top Fish Open and the 49 Grand Sport II for all the JAX fans to see. We heard there were lots of oohs! And ahhs! Over the luxurious 49—a slight departure from the typical Cigarette, with lush interior including full berth, galley and head, but that’s part of the beauty of the custom-built boat company—there is a Cigarette for everyone! With a full boat load people the Grand Sport ran close to 70 mph and turned some heads as the twin Cummins 715 HP diesels with Arneson drives showed a new way to party in a Cigarette—with room for everybody!

The Top Fish Open with the quad 350 Verados is also a show stopper and has proven that while it has all the performance of a Cigarette, it is a darn good fishing boat as well!

Kudos to Bill Pyburn, Sr. and Jr. on this 9th annual event, a popular one on the Poker Run list and a great benefit for area charities and the local fire department!
