Cigarette Launches 52 Thunder Center Console
 

Unveiled last night, the new 52 Thunder is positioned between the 42 Auroris and 59 Tirranna center consoles, https://www.speedonthewater.com/ciga...enter-console/

Jared Powell reports.

It's cheaper than one of their hats

hahahaha

I can’t quite make out the engines, are there 5 or 6?
Article says 6 but further on, it says 2,500 hp…..(minor typo)

I’m not Cig’s biggest fan but I’m sure it’s built right, there will be plenty of well healed buyers. .

Yawn.......

Beautiful boat of course, but all of these luxury CC's are starting to look the same.

I can't tell the difference between an Audi, an Acura, a Mercedes or a BMW these days and it's getting to be the same with these CC's. Of course my opinion is irrelevant because I'm about 3M shy of buying this boat so fair play to them!!

It was six ... I didn't spy engine No. 6 immediately, hence the bad math. :) Sorry for the confusion.

Oh wow, what a groundbreaking one of a kind new model........that looks almost the same as the other ones they built. 🙄🙄 There is only a 7ft difference between this 52 and the 59.
What happened to these "limited edition" Top Guns and Cafe Racers they were supposed to be revealing.🤦‍♂️

What's our critique on this one listed as a 2023???? lol... at least Ruiz seems impressed with himself/Cig

That has to be a joke right?

Clearly you are not an art-Cigarette aficionado! A bad paint job on an old boat = avante gard reinvention of a classic offshore powerboat!
Just noticed: $649,999
↓Price Drop: $149,001 (Jun 2)

Ruiz needs to re-invent his income streams because the stock is at 42 cents today! :D

I didn't make the listing up and the seller is (direct from) Cigarette Holdings
...

I’ve never fully understood ‘art’ and if the hull graphics weren’t enough to confuse me further, the port side dash has me blown away. 5 year olds shouldn’t sign their name on boats.

Money certainly doesn't buy taste.

They should pay us to even look at that abortion

:bong:

:picard1:​​​​​​​

Art?
Looks more like shart

Yes and the ‘94 hull gives the ‘23 authenticity.

I know that Hasbro was after him for a while for using Mr. Moneybags but last i heard they stopped the lawsuit and are instead going around painting over his artwork on the streets!
I found this letter Hasbro apparently wrote to him when they dropped the suit...cant verify if its real but if its is i wonder how an owner would feel having some rando come by and paint over their boat they just overpaid for! LOL

Dear Mr. Andon, You know what, forget the lawsuit. We’re having too much fun dealing with your situation the way we already are. In fact, until you bow down to the true kings of capitalism, we are going to continue our reign of terror on your rep. If you want to make it stop, here’s what we now want as restitution: 1) Take all the money you made of our copyrighted image and use it to create a scholarship for down-on-their-luck trust fund kids. We want to make sure the next generation of robber barons have all the opportunities their privilege entitles them to. 2) Stop wearing that mask. You ain’t hard, son. Instead, if you want to be “Mr. Monopoly” we demand you wear a monocle to every public appearance. If you are going to be a fake ****, at least get the costume right. 3) Admit that your entire career is secretly a Banksy-created performance art piece. That’s right, the jig is up. We have it on good authority from several prominent insiders that Alec Monopoly is actually a paid actor being used to parody the kind of mindless commodification and watering down of “urban” trends that run rampant in fine-art circles. Although our intel makes us 1000% sure, obviously, we know @Banksy wont fess up. That’s why you have to. Money isn’t everything. Using it to crush your enemies is. Until our demands are met, we’ll see you on the streets, chump.
Hasbro Krew #banksyisalecmonopoly

I looked him up, was wondering how he could keep painting the Hasbro stuff.

I consider myself an artist but performers like that give us a bad name. IMHO.

He is making big bucks painting easy carton chit, that he didn't even create. It's more about the "story" and get up then any real talent.
Small Dik syndrome.

I hear Hunter Biden has done some high priced paint jobs,
perhaps the new ownership can contract him for the next project 😉

Wheres pics of the cuddy ?

i think FatAssBigPig is far more appropriate than Thunder of witch it has none!

Another over priced POS CC.

The investors must have seen this thread.............stock is down 17%.............35 cents now!

Now imagine you bought a new 42 Cig for 1.2 or whatever and you want to buy this 52 for 3mm. So your trade is worth 600K and you need 2.4mm to buy 10 more feet of boat, double what you paid for the original 42 brand new.

I was thinking differently, cuz if a 94 (2023) cafe is worth $650k, anybody with any kind of late model cig has a mil or 2 in equity :bong::lolhit:

That is insane...I can not imagine that at all....:angry-smiley-055:

so my bullet is about 300k?

I'm sure skip sitting on an island somewhere sipping a drink!

Dam...Forgot the rod holders and live bait box again!

Your hat is probably worth more

I really dig the Momo steering wheel. Nothing says boy racer like a steering wheel for a car thats oversized and made in Italy.........................perhaps some LED light strips under the bow rail.
