All I know is 2 things about the boat I have:
1. There is a reason there is a 1 on the side of the boat.
2. I have never had anyone come up to me and say Hey is that one of those Sutphen boats. They say hey is that one of those Cigarette boats. I say yes, yes it is. All you guys can say is, No but its "like" a cigarette. You wannabes

Your fomula, cary etc bretheren would be kinda pissed to hear that.
The term cigarette boat when coined wasnt even on a cigarette it was on a cary? so how does that logic make sense? The cigarette boat they are refereing too isnt even that boat you own. unless of course yours does happen to be a cary?
I thought you owned a cigarette which was a boat modeled after the infamous cigarette boat that all of our boats were so fondly nicknamed.
All of it was modeled off of a Bertam named MOPPIE Which really was the first of these boats.
However I guess if that all cigarette guys have to cling to is what the unknowing Unknowlegable public uses for a general reference to all performance boats then its something.
We'll keep all our race winning titles to let us know who we are and what we stand for over here at SUTPHEN.
Well that and our heritage dating back to when our boat builder helped to stop a major world war with our basic design.

wow,,,i have learned the hard way about starting and stirring the pot on this site...just in good fun and i think the replies of sutphen owners toward six say it all. We are a respectuful and smart frat....In addition, i know of no other race boat company whos history goes back as far as when SUTPHEN MADE PT BOATS FOR the US NAVY...not just drug boats...
like i stated earlier, a sutphen owner, i have found does lots of research, is a more unique and respectful owner then say a "cigarette" owner on the whole....I mean anyone can go buy a cig..but it takes a thinker to find a custom crafted hull like a sutphen. Not many out there could be a good thing, keeps people saying wow what was that? instead of ahh thats just another cigarette
