Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

I say this in the process of getting painted at Phil's a few months ago.

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

I Believe That Was The Same One That Lipship Brought To The Leopa Poker Run This Past Saturday. Kick Azz Boat!

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

looks like a big Gladiator...which means, Awesome :D

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

Rick, you already thinking of moving up? ;)
I like those spiderman exhaust fills.

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

Yup, that was Lip Ships
The tow vehicle was pretty cool too.
Carbon fibor dash and door panels....with cigarette grab handles......

I am eating my f***in' heart out right now. . . with some fava beans and a nice Chianti. . .

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

120 mph and tabs down to 9. I don't think so, Tim!

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

A Real Bad Azz

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

That is a "redo" of the Rio Roses boat ..... right ???

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

Yes. Full epoxy. 1100 Zul's. :cool:

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

Yep, it was at LEOPA. The paint job is beautiful the metal paint flecks made it look awesome. It was headed to Huntington Long Island, the new owner took delivery at the Poker Run, and rode with Phil who was a major sponsor of the event. Phil's brother was there with the smaller Gladiator twin. We had a chance to ride along side them on occasion and boy did they look smooth and sound amazing I asked the owner if he is an OSO member he said nope doesn't have the time, I guess he is busy making money to pay the bills :D Donna, Ms PatriYacht

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

full epoxy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

thats just the tattle-tale mph recall not a running photo :D :D an for the record on the LEOPA run this last weekend i can believe it too, that thing is sick!! :eek:

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

I hope I get to see that badass running the sound.
Come to think of it... its kind of a shame that won't be at the oceans doorstep. :(
Its kinda big for a 2-3ft chop.

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

The Cig's paint was awesome but another head turner was Tizbad's Ocean Express done by our very own Glassdave :D Ian and I enjoyed meeting you Dave.

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

Here are pics of both the Maximus and Gladiator in the water at LEOPA.

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

Tabs are on 1. Look at the pic.

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

Ya but 1 is down and so are the tabs in the pic.

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

Wow...tabs are nice too

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

Tabs are down so the trailer straps clear. Look at the first picture.

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

That's really good looking.
Wasn't Rio Roses a 39' boat?

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

I'm pretty damn sure that it isn't the Rio Roses boat. It didn't have steps like these. And they wouldn't have separated the deck :eureka: This pic was from Jan '04

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

The Maximus is a cut down Rough Rider like a Gladiator is a cut down Top Gun.

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

Oooooooo! I just noticed the right hand throttles .... nice :cool:

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

ok taht thign is pretty cool. I have been kinda critical of teh "new" cig interiors (the ones that look like pinballs machines) but that boat is ****ing trick. I dig the sitdown cockpit in that WAY cooler than the pinball wizard setup!!!!!!!!!!!!!

congrats on yoru new toyan di love teh thing on the stern.

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

I am 100% positive that it is the former Rio Roses boat. Phil has been building/converting it for awhile. The owner and Phil will confirm it.

That was a different 45 being built for a different customer in the pic G took.

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

My bad ... Rio Roses does have the same steps.

G

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

I knew Phil was working on the Rio Roses, converting it to an open cockpit, the canopy is hanging from his showroom ceiling. Man, it came out nice. I can't wait to see the finished product of the one I showed under construction.

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

It's perfect. Talked to the owner yesterday and they are expecting 130 out of it when all dialed in and ready. Should be the meanest Cig out there, again. :cool:


The boat is painted exactly like Phil's brothers boat. He was originally going to keep it, so they wanted to have twin boats. Phil and T.A. being great friends, struck a deal and Phil sold him the boat. Pudge will have the next one. Should be done soon. :cool:

Damn pic won't load.

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

Spent some time checking the boat out at LEOPA, they truly did a beautiful job of converting it to open cockpit, the detailing is impressive. Also spent time watching it run ( the pics didn't turn out) I can't figure out why they're running those HUGE tabs ? The boat has an unusual, practially bow down attitude at speed, I've never seen anything like it, almost spooky. Pushing that much wetted surface to 130mph is gonna take some serious steam ( I don't care how many steps it's got ). At a distance when they were running next to the 36' Gladiators the Maximus ran even flatter than them, THATS FLAT !

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

That boat is the old Rio Roses boat for sure,guaranteed.

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

Damn Dude .... You don't miss a thing .... I noticed the "nose down" attitude from an unusually close vantage point at one time saturday morning :rolleyes: ... Now here's the next question ... Who remembers how many times that one went over and/or "changed direction" during it's racin' days as RioRoses ???

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

I believe I saw it upside down twice.

Re: Cigarette 45' Maximus
 

No matter what .
It is still the fastest cigarette on the water.
