This picture hangs in my office, the best graphics package that Cigarette ever offered. 90 MPH was almost a magic threshold for a pleasure boat at the time. This boat, and the scene from "Miami Vice" where Tubs & Crocket we're heading to the Bahamas with Russ Ballard's "Voices" playing is why I own a "Cigar" boat!!!. It does not get any better than that, those two images are stuck in my head!!! CLASSIC!!!! BLee, OUTSTANDING on several levels!!!! Robbie

The paint is timeless but the real beauty of that boat is the simplicity. Boat runs 90 mph and is doing it with simple power (no blowers, no #6's, 87 octane fuel, warranty etc). That boat should run hundreds of hours before tearing into it for maintenance.
The expense of big power is two fold, one side is the money but the other is the reliability and ability to simply fire it up at a moments notice and go. Plenty of guys have figured out a slower day of boating is nicer than wrenching after 8 minutes of uber speed then boom.
