To freaking cool!
"Rum Runner" is a one-off boat design ordered special by Cigarette. Designed and painted in Elkhart, Indiana. If you see it out there, I designed and drew all the skulls, bottles, details, maps (which was used as a background and Galleons in the paint job, as well as all the dash panels and grab handles etc. in the boat. I researched Spanish Pirates and Galleon ships extensively before diving in to that project. The detail in the Pirate ship paint was amazing - I put hours and hours into the fine details like knots in every link of rope etc.. it was one of my favorite projects to work on.
I've been involved in the design of MANY of Cigarettes show boats (if not ALL of them) for the 2003/2004 season. Any questions, just ask me!

♡That is really awesome to know that so much historic research went into the paint job. I saw this boat just today and thought it was pretty cool just because it sounded awesome & it being a Cigarette boat, but now that I know more of the story I think it's even cooler! Thanks for sharing.
