Re: Cig hires Ben Robertson
 

Your boats called Dust in the Wind isn't it? I thought that was a reference to you getting a face full of air at speed :)

Re: Cig hires Ben Robertson
 

i love this one.. it should be cover page of next months powerboat..

" cigarette buys fountain for complete new line of entry-level, boats under $ 500.00 a month no money down and 0% intrest"

and in small writing hurry while in stock boats last cause there making more then they can sell and running out of storage space and advertising budget..

Re: Cig hires Ben Robertson
 

And my face goes a long way up.....in fact my forehead ends at my shoulder blades.

What about Ben Kramer????? :evilb: :evilb: :evilb:

Re: Cig hires Ben Robertson
 

T2x was well respected from 1:15 til 3:45 on the afternoon of August 17th, 1981.

1881

Re: Cig hires Ben Robertson
 

But then it would have to go on to say," The deal
didn't go thru because those entry level Fountains
dust away those Cast iron,20 ton,tug boat squatin
carnival lookin interiored cigarettes every day of
the week. Thus Skip Braver thought it might not
be a good business move. Especially since Cig
hasnt won an offshore race since Don Aronow
was a teenager!! HA!!! put that in yer pipe & smoke
it!! :D :D . Love Rick!

1781

Re: Cig hires Ben Robertson
 

Yes I remember it well.....

Brownie was wearing a beautiful faux mink collared evening ensemble...and was squiring Mister Rickey into the gala party at Saugatuck, Michigan.......

What a dashing couple they made....... Brownie talking about Mister Rickey's beautiful eyes...... Mister Rickey talking about Mister Rickey's beautiful eyes.........

It was Kismet........or is that the town on Fire Island?

Sometimes I forget.

Latest Cigarette news...

Ben Robertson will be handling our race division as we haven't won a race since...Uh...can't remember but we are world champions...right? Well, we have stickers that say so on every boat! :D

Re: Cig hires Ben Robertson
 

Then why do you want one so bad? :D :D

Re: Cig hires Ben Robertson
 

He wants a second boat to go crabbing in. :D

Re: Cig hires Ben Robertson
 

Let's see, crabbing = ocean = windy = rough water and big azz rollers. Ya, your right, he would need a CIG! :D

Re: Cig hires Ben Robertson
 

:D
Naw...
Crabbing boat= Slow, bare interior, old hull design and it stinks. :evilb:

Re: Cig hires Ben Robertson
 

Rick,
I heard that Skip was only going to keep the sport fish line and sell the rest of the Fountain product line to Bayliner.Seems they want to get into the performace boat business at a budget and the Fountain line is a perfect fit.

Re: Cig hires Ben Robertson
 

Come on dude, let it go..... Take a 38 Fountain and a chainsaw. Eliminate the beek and swim plattform and you have a 34 foot smooooooooth water boat..... :evilb:

Also while your at it check www.boattraderonline.com and search fountains for sale and cigs for sale. Have fun! :D :D

Re: Cig hires Ben Robertson
 

In Fountains defense, Downtown42 is the MAN! :cool: :drink:

Re: Cig hires Ben Robertson
 

Alrighty, here's our daddy standing in front of his many trophys. Notice how long ago it was. Just might be a few more won since. :evilb:
I forget, who holds the speed record? hmmmmmm :D

Show us yours :evilb: :evilb: :evilb:

Re: Cig hires Ben Robertson

about 350-400 boats a year. Theres 125 for sale on OSO.
Cig builds...about 20 boats a year,92 for sale on OSO.

Cover girl cabin.........translation....couldn't put a full cabin in
because after we F*cked up the running surface we tried to
copy from Reggie.and the boat porpoised so bad we couldn't
sell it.
