Thank you Lip-Ship and Rio Roses
 

Unfortunately, due to an unforseen delay, our new Gladiator was not ready to run in Ft. Myers. But, due to the kindness of the folks at Lip-Ship Performance and Rio Roses, we had a boat to use in Ft. Myers anyway. They let us take the 33' Rio Roses Cigarette. It was not the Cigarette that we were planning to take, but it was an incredible gesture of trust and kindness and still got us as close as we could get to the racing without having our race boat there. Lynch Mob Racing would like to thank Lip-Ship and Rio Roses for the incredible hospitality they offered us in Ft. Myers. Thank you!

Lynch Mob (F2-3)

Phil is a class act!!!
 

I have two friends with '02 top gun t/s, and we hit some rough water on the way back from Key West in March(water we should not have been in). We had a couple of minor problems with the boats, and did not get back to Phil's until after dark. Phil waited on us to make sure we were ok, and drove us to Lauderdale at 11:00 p.m. When we got back the next day, the boats were ready again. The boat I was in was not even a Lip-Ship boat, and he took care of it no questions asked. I love Cigarette's, but Phil takes them over the top. I have had a couple of questions on my Apache and Phil has been there to offer his advice. Thank you, we appreciate everything you have done for us.

That is an awsome gesture.... it's people such as that that make me love boating all the more..... by the way did I mention my boat isn't ready yet either.....:D :D

Lynch Mob soon come?
 

Hi Will - Looking forward to you testing off of O.C. How's the progress? Barry

We actually ran it in OC last Monday. It is back in Maimi now getting painted. We were going to wait until July to do the paint, but there was an earlier opening so we took it. Lip-ship has put together one incredible machine for us! The boat will be back up here for the Seaside Heights race next weekend. I'll post some pictures of the completed project then. Until then, here is a picture of the package taken at the Brick, NJ race on June 1. Gotta love the flag pole that appears to be growing out of the bow! :)

Looks great already!
 

That is a cool shot with the new option of the giant Cigarette flagpole. Who's doing the paint, George Piparo?

I am not sure what his name is, but it is evidently the guy that does all of the painting for Lip-Ship. If it looks like all of the other Lip-Ship Edition Cigarettes, it will be perfect! You know, that flag pole almost looks like the mast of a blow boat! :eek:

Will

No sail!
 

A blow - boat??? Now Will, you know real boats don't have sails! I'm not sure who does Phils's work (though it is all excellent) but George Piparo is the guy who does all of Cigarettes custom work. He does do work on the side too, so he may do Phil's. I'm looking forward to seeing the final product. It's a shame we don't have an O.C. race this year!

When / where do you race next? Sarasota?

Barry

We will be in Seaside Heights, NJ next weekend (21st - 23rd) and then the next race is Sarasota, FL on July 5-7. We are heading to Miami to get the boat the first of this week. I'll post pictures when we get back!
