Kinda cool Cig is forging forward with some new stuff but definately giving a nod of respect to its heritage. "90MPH" and "Huntress" both names taken from their previous line up. The origional 90 of course being still a very well respected, limited production boat.

Little cigarette Sam had a pic of that monster Huntress on the road to the show (pic was taken down:rolleyes::rolleyes:)

You are correct. And I need to correct that.

Looks like Merc trusts Cigarette for all their new stuff. Last year it was the 1350's. Congratulations to Skip and Cigarette!

Those engines are also in a Formula and a Nor-Tech, but the first installation was in the 38' Top Gun, according to Fred Kiekhaefer and you're half-right: They trust each other.
