Cigarette/Lincon T.V. comercial
 

I saw a comercial on tv where a guy is driving a new Lincon out of the Keys and there is a huge Cig. riding beside the hwy. The guy in the car looks at the Cig and says man I gotta get one of those someday. Then they show the guy driving the Cig. and he looks at the car and says man I gotta get one of those some day! Really cool as hell tv comercial. You can also hear the motors in the Cig. and it sounds like its got really big power.

Sunsation32, I saw the same comm. on Sun. with Board God 1 and he thinks the boat is an Outerlimits. Kewl shot anyway.

I just got a glimse of the boat. My wife was going ooo! ooooo!! ooooo!!! I just ran into the room to see what the orgasm was about. She said she thought it was a Cig. Anyway really cool big boat.

Looked like a Top Gun to me.:cool:

Looked like Phil Lipship to me as the passenger............................what do you think?

I don't know if it was Philly indeed sitting "gun":D That is Rob Shins boat "Rice Hauler" A Lip Ship Edition T/S gun. Thing is bad ass!!! Rob is an OSO member, though he doesn't get on here much...goes by the name "rice hauler";) :D :D

Hey, has anyone else seen this commercial yet?? I still haven't seen it. When are they running it and on what channels? The big 3?

Lincoln came to Lip-Ship on this project just over a month ago.
They picked the boat out of his "Stable" and Phil did the rest.

As I understand it they had done a lot of test marketing and focus group research beforehand. And discovered that this association with Offshore Boating and Cars was off the scale in terms of positive response. DUH!

They were specific in their request for a Cigarette, no Fountains, Scarabs, Bajas, Donzi's etc. Don't know why but they got what they wanted.

The commercial filmed over two days and all the actors were professionals. Phil tells me anytime that you see the drivers back then that's probably him but otherwise he's in the cabin hoping that they don't gound my boat on anything.

I have not seen the ad yet myself, and am very anxious too. But I am tickled that my friends that have seen it say that the boat has a major role. Finally Offshore gets some respect and film other than Drug Busts on America's Most Wanted.

Well best to all the Happy Boating,

Rice Hauler.

WHATS UP ROB HOW THE DRIVE :D

Rob Daddy! You are a stud dude!:D I saw the commercial during the Laker game last night. It is tight! Very well done commercial, and kinda funny.

When are you going to have that thing shipped out here to the west coast man? The SCOPE poker run in Long Beach is coming up in August, you should make it! Hope to see you out in Florida again soon.

I saw the boat when I was at Cigarette last week. It is sweeeet!
The commercial is cool also :cool:

Jay,
Thanks for asking. The repair was fine. needed some minor tweaking later but fine now.

Also can't thank you enough for coming to my aid in the keys over Easter . You and Tony are the best.

CALL WHEN YOUR IN TOWN WILL GO TO LUNCH:D

I live in western North Carolina and they play the comercial every night during the 11 o clock news on ABC. It's Awesome!! Makes me strive to get a Cig. that much more.

Too Old,

Don't let Lincoln hear that.
I have not yet seen the commercial and am naturally very anxious too.
But Lincoln took great pains to cover all Logos on the boat.
The name (Why does this not suprise me) The Brand and the Model. Phil told me that they used a tree symbol or something like that?
I am very tickled that the boat is clearly recognizable as a Cigarette though.
I am going to try and post a few pics of the Rice Hauler V in the Photo Section if someone could e-mail me directions on how too.

Rob,
I met you on the Miami Boat Show Poker Run, I was in a
Scarab ( "Heat Wave")
and I told you that you had the best looking boat I have ever seen. Well, I am glad they picked your boat for the commercial!
I'll see you on the next poker run!

ScarabFan,

Good to hear from you. I watched the video of the Miami boat show run the other day. And there you were tied up to me at Gilberts.

Many thanks for the compliments. Really I owe much of the credit to Phil at Lip-Ship and his staff. While I can take credit for the concept it was Phil and Harold his painter who took my ideas and made them a reality. That's the strength of a good dealer.

As phil reminds me,
"Rob it is your hobby but it's my business."

We are looking good for a run to Atlantis on Paradise Island later this summer with FPC maybe you might want to look at joining us. Either way I Look forward to seeing you and the crew on the next run. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Best,

Rice Hauler.
