World champions?
 
Ok , look I'm not trying to piss anyone off here. But I was just looking at some cig pics and noticed a theme. They all have the " world champ" being it from stock or not. My question is when was the last time they were? I was district 6 motocross champ, got invited to Vegas to race for $100k . But I was broken. Femurs take time to heal. But at the end of the day the only reason I bring up my short glorious past is because it is the past and I leave it there because there are and always be someone better than me. The cig logo is like al bundy's 3 touchdown passes in high school. At the end of the day I own a fountain and it's a cookie cutter boat I know but we don't claim shi t.

Wait let's get back to this district 6 champ thing??? What yr was this at and what class????

Cat Killer ?

Worlds Fastest V ?

Only boat manufacturer to have branded their own skanks ?

I think Fountain has made it's mark at times too.

That's like asking why do that all have a oval with their logo in it? Who did that first?

rak rua 11-03-2015 09:28 PM

It's just a logo, nothing else.

Once any brand establishes itself with a logo, they never change it. Same with Fountain, the company was thrown into turmoil a few years ago and the founder has gone but they still use the same logo. Just happens that Cig put the number 1 in the center at a time when it was appropriate.

Look at car manufacturers, they retain their same logo, just like sports suppliers, clothing designers etc.

I pay no attention to the logo accept that it identifies a excellent boat. I know the fine print is not up to date and anyone with the funds and knowledge to be in the purchasers seat will hopefully recognize the detail as somewhat out of date.

Back to the op's question, can someone tell us the actual year Cigarette won their last world championship? Not bashing, I love 'em and that's why I'm interested to know the answer. (But too lazy to go searching lol)

I was #1 champ in flag football when I was 8 now I can put champ on the side of my boat right...

Anytime anyone, any team or any company, self proclaims them self the "Champs" , " Worlds Greatest", "Best"...is a joke. If you are such, everyone knows it, you should not have to toot your own horn. Its one thing to fly the flag, so to speak, if you are the existing. But to live in the past is very very sad.
