I don’t give a sh!t how it worked out for me. You seem to care more than I do. I was saying what most people were thinking.
do you even own a boat yet? Or did that one get repo’d too.

If I won the powerball tonight.............I would not buy any Cigarette. So would that still make me a poser? If I bought a ratty Bullett with tired power for 25K would that make me a cool Cigarette brother like you? 
Maybe a nice project boat that will never hit the waves again? Sand and primer an old hull and then let it sit in the corner of my warehouse under my Cigarette banner because that makes me an owner?
No secret, I think they are tacky with logos like a screaming chicken 70's Firebird on the hood. They have built some outstanding boats, over the top details but usually ruin them with 129 logos on everything from the keys to the battery boxes. Even Skip finally realized the sh1tter box in the middle of the cabin was passe'. The center consoles are nice, smart designs and classy paint schemes but I'd rather buy a Nortech or MTI because they have taken it to the next level. The 3mm+ Tiranna is impressive for what it is but not sure what you do with it........Yacht guys look at you like you pulled into Pebble Beach in your Pace Car Corvette, go fast guys don't like the look/sound/size of it. Mechanics look at 5-6 motors hanging off the back as constant hassle. But one plus, they lightened up on the logos!
For the record, I'd never buy a Harley for most of the same reasons.

For a guy that said he doesn't read a single word of my posts you sure are backpeddling!
I've got the same Whaler I've owned since 2006! Just bought a 2021 M4 that was damn near as much money what my 32 Sunsation cost so I'm doing ok.

Yeah the grill takes getting used to, the key is the exterior color (the darker the better to take the focus off the grill) and the best part is you can't see the grill when your driving it!
I've had 3 prior M3s, they keep getting better, faster and you can still get a manual transmission which is getting to be rare in any brand.
For the record, I'd think the BMW Isetta is accepted as the ugliest car BMW ever sent down the assembly line, the I3 is a solid 2nd place
