I don't think I have enough money to even get into that show Maybe when the wife eventually goes back to work as a public school teacher we'll step it up and get one of those 50' CC

Interesting deal on jet ski. Someone has to know. Dare I say, no way they just took a page out of China's book.

I don’t understand anything about the law, except to try and not break it, but it has to make one wonder if this may be a bait scheme by cigarette? The owner of cigarette is a lawyer, owns a law firm, and has access to a legal team that wins super bowls. If Belassi is in fact in the dark on this, and pursues legal action and loses, could Ruiz potentially end up owning it through default?

*allegedly wins super bowls.

when I looked at MSP a year or two ago I seem to remember them claiming like billions in potential bookings but 0 actual revenue.

based on the prior comments about cigarette tripling revenue, now that revenue is up 50% (big miss on the estimate!) and yet looking like they’ve built only like 3 boats in the last year…kinda tracks!

How stupid to have half a jet ski there even if it was their complete design and build. Somewhat hope I’m wrong but these people sure seem like con artists that don’t have a f’n clue what they’re doing.

The whole thing just makes you shake your head. Makes it seem like a lazy student who forgot their homework was due.

You would have thought a company with their resources, both financial and human could have at least done a mock up of their own design. Especially with the acquisition of Vectorworks.

To me it also reflects badly on their listed business. If “they” do that here, what are they doing there?

No specifics, but sounds like there may be some partnership.

https://www.jetdrift.com/cigarette-racing-e-jet-review/

“The ski also borrows some design elements from the famous Italian Belassi Burrasca.

This is not a coincidence, as Cigarette Racing is designing the E-JET in collaboration with Alberto Mancini Yacht Design and Navigazione Generale Italiana (NGI).“
