Let's see one of you (OSO Members) attempt what JT did single handily.

Then you can talk.

Kudos to him.

Hes not doubting JT.

why schwartzcraft of course.:D :D

It's not JT...JT had the knowledge and skill to even get that Cig to 160 and to back off when it was not handling correctly. the "funny" part is how that kilo run was touted as going for the world record against Fountain and then they changed the media release and put a new spin on it as just the fastes Cig ever built.
Still the boat when it was turned into a pleasure boat was ultra nice!

I never heard any of these guys directly say that they were going to set a new speed record. I'm not doubting anyone's post on here but can only go by what I was told directly.

I think they made their point - 172 MPH...

Who knows the "if's" and "but's"... Bottom line, Fountain holds the Kilo record, OL stays on their heels, and both do very well in flat water. Cigarette, still builds the best offshore boat in the business.

Well, at least that's my opinion, anyway. :D

Try this........

I believe that thing in the background (F22 Raptor) should do it! I think the old F4 Phantom still holds some records.

Hey Joe, How is the Cig. I had the 42 Tiger tied up to you in Islamorada at dock. Are you doing Key West in November?

By the way, I was also a Cig owner who recently went back to a Cat and those speeds in a vee are nuts, They do not have the stability like Cats do and that is probably why the best throttle man of all times backed off. He is used to being in a Cat winning races. Of course the water conditions play a huge role.

I've never rafted/ tied up w/ anyone (that I remember) while in Islamorada? On this last Miami Boat Show Run I slipped my boat at Smuggler's Cove... Are you sure it was me - and if so, who the heck was using my boat while we were enjoying the festivities? :D

P.S. The boat is rock-solid in swells at 95 MPH +, esp. now that we have it propped so well... I agree, much faster than that, I'd feel much safer in a cat.

...However, after Wild darted out Govt. Cut on 12.30.07 and we followed (not wanting him to be out in "true" 6'ers w/out a wing-man), my wife will no longer ride in the boat no matter how stable it is --- thanks, Randy!!! :angry-smiley-038:

The 36 Nor-tech's runs well and looks great... Not to mention, for a Yankee, Sobo is a pretty good guy!!! Nice pkg!

Joe

Insert MTI plug here.....................:D
