Along those lines...80% of the boats these days have hideous paint jobs IMO. I know I'm in the minority but they just look like a "painters gone wild" contest. I with you on the Cig look some have posted here.

I think it is about time MTI has been called out on there sub par in house paint work. The matte boat painted by Visual Imagination was killer.

This is one ugly Cig

It's no wonder this Cig has not sold in a year and a half and has been reduced by 50K. It's in the classifieds here.

He should get it wrapped or repaint it !!!! It has the goods, just ugly IMO.

For whoever asked here's your pimp boat

And my favorite shot that Turbo took when he spotted Mr. Reggie himself out speed testing his latest powerboat offerings after the old Fountain Powerboats folded.
