There were several Cigarettes tearing up the main channel at LOTO today. All of the outboard cats are cool, and the center consoles are comfy, but nothing really replaces the thunder of a couple of big block Cigarettes hammering through the rough. There is no company ownership that can dick up the history of Cigarette, although they can certainly alter the future. Owners please take care of them so that we will always be blessed to having them around!

Amen !

😂

Not just Cig's though. For me anything other than a Pontoon, Center Console or outboard, not the fondest of cats neither but I wouldn't turn down a free one like I would the aforementioned.

You are right, more than just Cigs, it just happened to be that there were a bunch of them out playing. Big "go fast" boats with thundering big blocks are tough to beat.

I’m up at the 38MM and they made their way up here. You can definitely hear them coming.

There were some MTI I/O and OB cats rolling through as well. Everyone complains about the sound of the OB cats but I can hear two 450R’s coming a mile away as well when they’re singing their song. They have a very distinct roar/whine combination that never gets old and draws everyone to the window or porch edge to get a glimpse as they go by.

Your best, most insightful post to date Jeff!!!!

You need to drag yours over here sometime!

We’ll all be there in a few weeks! (1990)

Still one of my favorite paint jobs

The Cig Rendezvous is definitely one of the coolest events on the water. I am glad to see that it is continuing. Best yet, I will be at the lake for it, as pictures and videos does not come close to doing it justice.
