this is a rough crowd !!

Overs. Definitely the overs.

I’m not a prospect to buy a new Cigarette; however, I’ve loved this brand my whole life and I still do and I always will!

I was told they cut the deck off of this abomination, trimmed it down, grafted it onto the two unfinished Cigarette PWC prototype hulls; and BAM: the new Cigarette Mini-Catamaran.

Definitely been some missteps under the new ownership
yikes. I’m not thrilled about another outboard cat in an already saturated market. But I guess if the dollars pencil out from cad drawings to R&D to build, and they can recoop their money and sell a few boats to people that would otherwise buy an MTI or DCB or skater then I guess it’s worth it for them. We’ll see. Whole market has shifted like everything does but like I said, not to thrilled about another outboard cat to the market.

id actually be excited about something different. Lead the pack, not follow. Since outboards are all the rave, How about a 30-35 performance vee with outboards? Something different. Stick to their roots.

I always loved Ciggy's too, but the new ownership took some of the shine off the brand IMO.

once they FINALLY get it through their heads they’re going to have to repaint that atrocity of a cafe racer to match the beautiful interior, new power and drives, it’ll sell. I’m thinking classic white with a red and maybe grey stripe at the water line. Timeless. Clean.

I don't know man, I'd much rather see that crazy painted Cig on the water ANY day than another copycat vanilla outboard cat!!

Every month or so it blows my mind to see another new manufacturer enter the 30' and up outboard cat market. There can't possibly be enough buyers to profitably sustain them all. There must be 30+ different manufacturers building 30' and up outboard cats now, we'll see how many are still around 10 years from now.

Yet the prices are still insane!
supply/demand doesnt seem to be working.
