My buddies dad had the fastest in 1982 (I think it was a 78) 38 with twin turbines. "Jet Set Cigarette" Some of you West MI guys might remember it. It was a 38 I think.

I'll never forget hanging out at the end of Grand Haven pier 20+ yrs ago watching 'Jet Set Cigarette" coming out, the guy and his girl putting on helmets, the whine of the turbines...what a kick a$$ boat!!!

They took off and headed south with a stream of spectator boats trying to follow...in a couple of minutes they were out of sight...

Last i heard it was in some warehouse and owned by a guy named prinze or something?

That would be a cool restoration!

Both of Bill Procotor's boats are probably up there in the top 5-10.

See this one run at www.offshore-performance.com

I think kangaroo rat was the fastest straight bottom top gun for a long time. Also a 46 with trip 1000's built for the 13 year old son of an arab sheik ran 106 on the cover of powerboat or boating like 10 years ago. Nutty. NK

Hey Nauti, was that a blue and white boat named Iceman. In 1995 I was down at Cigarette on a job interview and had a chance to go on that boat and see them test run it. That boat eas going to the son of an arab sheik and was the seventh cigarette the shiek was adding to the family fleet.....must be nice
