The 51st Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show will host a full lineup for Cigarette Racing Team, the icon of performance boating. As the company validated the new Mercury Racing 1350 HP engines, the AMG-Inspired 46' has been in the spotlight, but the rest of the Cigarette model line is just as strong. The two Top Fish 39's -- cuddy cabin and open bow, have enjoyed great success in the marketplace, while the Top Gun remains a classic and the 42X maintains its popularity as a Poker Run model, with mid-range to high power. Cigarette's 49' Grand Sport II provides a luxury cabin with diesel powered long range capacity, the 50' Marauder rounds out the line at the top of the size and power scale.



At the show, Cigarette fans will see:

38' Top Gun

The Top Gun has been the classic of the<span>38 Top Gun</span> Cigarette line for over 20 years for good reason-it is the perfect pleasure boat-especially for boaters who want ease of operation and maintenance. The side-by-side Mercury Racing 525 engines with Bravo XR drives provide a reliable performance and service package and this paint design boasts an aquatic blend of deep blue sea colors. The "Tour de France" blue hull has white and "Grigio Alferi" silver accents, adding splashes of contrast. The theme is carried to the deck, where the color adds 3-dimensional depth and a matching blue tubular swim platform compliments the striking white sun-pad. The blue and white upholstery is carried through the cockpit and "3/4" Cabin that has plenty of storage, an upgraded stereo sound system and a full berth. Garmin instrumentation and the standard stairs/cabin door give the cockpit a sleek, metallic look. Underwater lights provide nighttime glamour. 39' Top Gun Unlimited With staggered Mercury Racing 700's and
NXT drives, Cigarette customers can kick it up a notch in this Top Gun Unlimited. Mercury Racing's VesselView Race Edition stands out on a black carbon fiber dash, and the full billet package includes, speaker covers, foot boards, bolster bases, swim platform and fender holders. This 39 is a standout. The striking paint design combines matte black with pearl white to make the ultimate contrast with complementary Cigarette red accents. The sharp black and white interior will bring a smile to your own pearly whites.

39' Top Fish Cuddy

Cigarette's center consoles have taken over the waterways worldwide and with the option of the cover and comfort of an air-conditioned cuddy cabin, everyone can find a place in-or out of the sun! The fiberglass hard top and brushed aluminum support structure adds a sturdy cockpit cover for three passengers while additional seating in the aft provides for more room for fishing buddies -- all in standard white vinyl for easy maintenance . A live well, removable cooler under the bench seat, ample storage and rod holders are provided. The standard stand-up head and shower with front deck access adds creature comforts, as does the additional storage at the bow. The sparkling white hull with sporty striping has dock appeal and triple 300 Verados provide plenty of power, so "To fish, or not to fish?" that is the question!



39' Top Fish Open



Providing more room for family, friends and fishermen was the goal of Cigarette's Top Fish Open and it has exceeded expectations for customers around the world and across the country. The broad and comfortable cockpit console accommodates the stand-up head and shower, and also houses Top Fish features including Garmin 5215 touch screen GPS, billet gauge pods, and this boat added Cigarette's cooling mister system. The seating configuration provides for company in the cockpit, more friends in the aft, and yet more in the bow! The option for an electrically operated platform that rises from the floor, to mid-level for a padded sun deck or to full extension for a table top is available and is a favorite in the Top Fish Open. "Grigio Granito" charcoal metallic paint gives this Cigarette a silky, smoky gleam on the water and its black and white upholstery and red boot stripe accent on the hull add a touch of class. Add the triple Mercury 300 Verados and you're ready for a day of fishing or for playing in the waves-or both!



42X


The "serious" Poker Runner wants plenty of fun from his Cigarette and will find it in this 42X. A silvery glow makes this lavender look lush and lavish and the twin Mercury Racing 700's and NXT drives give it plenty of "no stopping us now!" power. This model is a favorite of Phil Lipschutz of Miami's LipShip Performance, so he adds a new Cigarette cockpit interior design and special touches to make it one of his "LipShip Editions." Positioning of the SmartCraft and Garmin GPS screen was adapted to optimize driver viewing and the simple new minimal gauge layout enhances the user-friendly function of the dash. The interior follows the color scheme and a new low-rise rear "sofa" provides for sleek back passenger seating and enhances the lines of the boat. A new speaker system with stainless grills gives the cockpit some "muscle" and complements the silver trim and silver painted engine room. The paint scheme was designed to combine "old school with a hi-tech twist" and while lavender is known as a calming herb, there is nothing but excitement in this passionately purple Cigarette!

46'AMG-Inspired Rider

The AMG-Inspired 46 has been the star of <span> </span> Cigarette's show since the Miami Boat Show when along with the Mercedes AMG SLS, the boat made its debut--with Mercury Racing's newest 1350 HP engines. The melding of passion for perfection and performance brought AMG and Cigarette together and the relationship remains strong and dedicated to sharing their market and dedication to excellence. While everyone awaited the availability of the production motors, Cigarette and Mercury were testing the prototype engines and giving boaters on Miami's Biscayne Bay some eye candy! The white and silver highly metallic AMG alubeam paint shimmers in any light, and even on overcast, cloudy days, this 46 lit up the Bay leaving a wake and a gutsy growl as it tore through the chop. A few select "fashionistas" from Mercedes Miami Fashion Week got a ride and a thrill as they jaunted from the boat to a luncheon on South Beach--with that high speed grin on their normally chiseled model faces. You can't help but delight in this Cigarette! The porcelain white and black upholstery mimics the interior of the 2011 SLS that has accompanied the boat on its publicity tour. Generous billet accessories help dress it to the nines. The new digital instrumentation lets the conversation take place between the engine and the dashboard -- no mechanical cables needed. Truly, high-tech, high-fashion and high-performance at its best.



49 Grand Sport II

The 49 Grand Sport's expanded 10' beam provides for 6' head room, a full berth, head/shower, small galley and a broad range of luxurious cabin creature comforts, including an exotic wood and leather upholstery. A new raised deck, and a custom lift for the extended transom and large sun pad make movement in and out of the boat a breeze and the new Cigarette windscreen offers excellent visibility and wind-protection. New tooling was developed for the Arneson Surface Drives-- an excellent complement for the Cummins Quantum Series Diesel 715 twin engines. With these Mercury SmartCraft™enabled, turbocharged and sea water cooled powerplants, coupled with the reduced drag, quicker acceleration and improved fuel economy, this Cigarette can hold true to its performance heritage for a 700 mile range. Various seating options can be customized, but comfort, top-quality upholstery, and room to move about the boat remain Cigarette's focus. Other new features include a Cigarette-designed and custom-made muffler exhaust system and a Cummins Onan 5 KW Generator which complete a powerfully and thoughtfully designed powerboat, ideal for island hopping or cruising the Med. As Cigarette moves into its next chapter, the AMG-Inspired Cigarette and other boats in the lineup demonstrate the work, time and dedication the company invests in each boat that bears its name. Outstanding design, engineering, service and satisfaction are standard. Upgrades and options are yours for the asking. From the classic Top Gun to the Top Fish to the Grand Sport II, Cigarette will go to any length-from 38-50'--to give its customers, and potential new customers, the boat to which they aspire.
