Default Offshore racing history on e-bay Cigarette

E Bay has an auction for a very rare original two photo pack, that was sent out by Don Aronow's Miami public relations company, SEA TALK, to help him promote his win of the 1969 Bahamas 500 and his new boat company Cigarette.

The two photos were sent all over the world to magazines and newspapers that covered the sport back then. On the back of one of them is still the original pr write up of the race by John Crouse who was the owner of SEA TALK..

So as you can see by the above pictures we finally got it in the water. Had some bugs to work out of it after sitting for ten years. The right trim tab pump was low on oil and finally got it working, throttle cables had come loose and were out of adjustments. But all in all ran and drove pretty good. It needs some tlc but the story of this boat and the history of it make it a unique unit. It has a number of things that need to be fixed but it runs and drives. I am going to sell it so if anyone is interested flip me an email at [email protected] and i can give you more details of whats up with it, tried to include as many pictures as possible so you all can see what kind of shape its in.

Obviously the thread has been hijacked.

HORBA has nothing to do with the Gucci boat, don't know Carfixer, have no financial interest here.
