Cigar Boats-what's in a name?
 

We've all heard people use the generalized term "Cigarette boat" or "Cigar boat" when referring to offshore performance boats. We all know that Cigarettes legacy have made them worthy of the name sake. But I have to say, especially in the is area, I hear more people refer to them as "Cigar boats" than "Cigarette boats". I'm pretty sure that at some point boats where built under the name "Cigar Boat". So are they worthy of the name sake?

I spoke with a guy (Don't remember his name :rolleyes: ) a few years ago. He was from Nightmare Racing Team. He said that he and a partner built a boat based on the 41 Apache Starchaser. They called it a Cigar. I belive that their boat was 42ft. It was a canopied race boat and said Cigar on its side.

Anyone else know of this?

As an aside, he also said that they rebuilt the transom on the Apache because of rot. I didn't look any further into it as I didn't have enough cake to make a deal.

Here is the mold

Re: Cigar Boats-what's in a name?
 

The boat which flipped and was blaimed on the eratic steps put in the hull but has been discovered more recently to be driver error.

hey i saw a pic of that boat on the wall at a marina i do some biz at and nobody had any info on it. pretty cool lookin boat whats the story on it?

Re: Cigar Boats-what's in a name?
 

Not sure if it has sold or not but I think Jack Clark at Jaguar had it for sale for awhile. The mold however has had the steps removed and regardless of what some may say is the exact dimensions of a 41 Apache except for the fact the strakes in the deck have been removed. Jack Clark is also the one who built the mold in about '99.

Re: Cigar Boats-what's in a name?
 

The guy I spoke with said that the boat hit a Manatee and ripped one of the drives off of the boat. At the time he said 50k would buy the boat less power/drives.
I looked for their old website, but it's gone.

Re: Cigar Boats-what's in a name?
 

the boat was built by R C performance.

read the signature :drink:

Re: Cigar Boats-what's in a name?
 

R C Performance was Richie somebody I do believe, but I know the mold was done by Jack Clark. I am not sure whether or not he did the lay up on the boat. Boat supposedly ran 138 before it flipped.

Re: Cigar Boats-what's in a name?

Re: Cigar Boats-what's in a name?
 

I believe around 99-00. Could have been contender for v record

Re: Cigar Boats-what's in a name?
 

i was thinking that same thing. a buck thirty eight is smoking for a V! wonder what the record was at that time? had to be pretty close to that

Re: Cigar Boats-what's in a name?
 

Anyone know where the boat is today?

What about the mold? What happens to the molds that are created/copies from existing boats. It seems like the 41 has been copied a few times. Can anyone just splash a boat from someone elses mold?

Re: Cigar Boats-what's in a name?
 

We where in LaCrosse last weekend and some guy asked me if I had ever heard of at Cigar boat called a Fountain. I just chuckled. I figured he was talking about Satisfied's 35. And sure enough he was. :cool:
