Countdown To Miami: Cigarette Teaser No. 3—‘Why Six?”
 

A little more pre Miami Boat Show fun from Cigarette Racing Team, https://speedonthewater.com/in-the-n...r-no-3-why-six.

Now that this is out in public, I'll chime in.

This all started at the Cigarette Rendezvous a few years ago. Cig customer said "Skip I want 6", Skip said "I can't fit 6", Cig customer said "make it happen". Apparently after a lot of work and dollars spent, Skip made it happen:coolcowboy: Congrats to all involved, I'm sure it will be a BEAST.

And to answer the why 6 question................Because they couldn't fit 7:evilb:

:) Cigarette definitely has been more aggressive with its reveals in advance of this year's show.

I'm sure the new boat will be a total beast but six engines? I'd need to be even more insane than I currently am (and quite a bit wealthier) to even consider 5 engines, let alone 6. :)

​​​​​Only in America!

Derek's new boat?

thats what I am thinking too

Black on Black... You know it..

6 outboards is innovation? sad.

Yeah I don't get it. Wish someone would come up with outboards integrated into the transom on a go fast application like the Sea Ray Venture 37.

Six isn't that innovative. Add in the Cigarette/AMG theme. One word: Boring!

lol....no.

Yes it is. Cigarette's pre-Miami marketing campaign (and I've seen a few) is a lot more aggressive this year, and the presence of social media as it affects "reveals" surely entered the discussion among the marketers. Cigarette has a very smart agency.

On the other hand, to borrow from a friend, if you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got. Cigarette's Skip Braver isn't afraid to try things—and change them up.

I'm curious as to why some folks are convinced the boat in the story in this thread is the Cigarette-AMG boat. :)

So how do you park something like that with 6 motors ? Not so sure parents are going to let there kids dock the boat any more LOL

Beat this
 

Possible boat name "6 of Diamonds"

Or

I have a real question, how would you control or stop a single motor of the group from over revving? Boats rock and roll. I can see one of the outside motors coming out of the water... a lot. What do you do when you make a turn at speed? If you turn to port the starboard side of the transom is going to lift. The harder you turn the higher it goes. I mean a group in the middle of the transom is one thing, on the very outside....I don't get it.

who said this was an AMG theme boat ? Because I'm pretty sure based on everything I've seen the new 59 w 6 OB's is NOT going to be an AMG boat

I think the 6 400s do beat that.

Terranna translates to "running water." The Frank Lloyd Wright house also took its name from that.

Well that won't tow well! Nice boat but like the 56 NT and 57 MTI not sure what you do with it! All 3 suffer from the "bigger boat, more HP now we need more fuel" but then that makes the boat heavier so it is slower equation. It will get a lot of press, hope it runs good for the new owner.

said the same thing about the 57 MTI then got to spend a day on it. it was one of the best days on the water and plenty fast. know exactly what to do with it but cant afford It. ha

Cigarette just posted this up

Wow, stunning..I don't know who puts their video productions together but its very impressive. Well done

WOW!! That thing is over the top bad assery!!!

Sexy sextuple will sell!
 

Bravo! I find the name Tirranna very apt for this impressive craft. Guess it means "running waters" in an Australian aboriginal language. People with the coin to buy this sextuple motored yacht are maybe educated enough to know about the renowned house, famously designed by celebrated architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The computer-generated imagery video is both spectacular, unique and cutting edge. Always fun when market leaders dare to break new ground on all levels. Here's a company that does almost everything right, so I got to ask, WHY 50th? Now, let's see if the Cigarette Racing Team brass, got the brass balls, it at this stage takes, to admit that 2019 is the year for the Cigarette Racing Team company to celebrate its 49th anniversary, not its 50th? Heck, they might even sell some boats here on 'The Left Coast' if they did a 49th Anniversary Edition for us. We can't really relate to what used to be our Scarab boats anymore and the truth is that we are fond of the number 49. ;)

I respectfully disagree about the 50th anniversary, personally I don't think it matters too much.

Cigarette racing team, the company, was founded in 1969. To me it really doesn't make a difference that they sold their first boat in 1970. They're celebrating 50 years of the company's existence, not necessarily 50 years since their first boat delivery.

Similarly, BMW was founded in 1916, but didn't sell a car until 1928. In 2016 they celebrated 100 years of BMW. Oh well, its all marketing anyways.

Date and dating; transom grace bounds for happy space...
 

I tend to agree about the precious transom space. I value it and I think most boaters got good memories from time spent on the swim-platform and rear sundeck. Photos of happy time on the twin Volvo IPS 600 diesel powered Swedish J-Craft 42 Torpedo model below. Quiet and no fumes.

I wonder why so many are under the impression that Cigarette Racing Team was started in 1969? Don started Don Aronow Inc., dba Cigarette Racing Team on 03/19/1970. His first boat building company was called Our Corporation Inc., which he started with his first wife Shirley in 1962. That company among other things dba Formula Boats etc. When he started Donzi Marine and Magnum Marine Corp. he had a company named Donald Aronow Inc. among others, but it's irrelevant here. When they started producing the Cigarette 28 for the public, in December 1970, it was a success and 50 boats were sold for the first 6 months. During the summer and autumn of 1970 several racing boats were constructed. How many? That I admit I don't know.

P.S. Now Don was a marketing genius, so it's easy to get confused by his advertising. If his 1963 Formula 233 'The Cigarette' had won The World Championship he would have maybe changed this ad to say; Don Aronow's Cigarette Racing Team Multiple World Champion since 1963. D.S.
