There's no place for that sort of stuff here. This is a RIB forum, don't you know?

As a penance you now have to arrange for me to have a go in it!

lovely with carb....not injection...!
the cost is the only problem, think 16 sparkplugs every change and the rest x 2...

Fun to drive, not to own....

I will see what i can do! you might see/hear it around the solent, its a bit of a regular in yarmouth. as far a costs go, i might have got this wrong, but so far its used 300 gallons and done 70 miles! which i think is 0.23 mpg!! not bad!

It does the heart good....
Nice to see you guys slavering over a true piece of Americana, a Cigarette offshore power boat. Born and bred in South Florida by Don Aronow the brand is infamous, which adds to the mystique... Anyone besides me on this forum that has been to the old Thunder alley facility Cigarette had? N.E. 188th st. believe it is all probably Condos by now...
