Interestingly, Cigarette decided not to participate in the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show this year, but host an Open House at their facility. They also have unveiled a new 41' Center Console Performance Boat with Stern Drive power instead of the usual three or four outboards all of these style boats seem to get these days.

They are so excited about the new boat they have given it it's very own webpage.

The boat, which you can't see at the Lauderdale Boat Show, will be available for viewing at the Florida Powerboat Club's Poker Run Village during the SBI Key West World Championships next week.

They have also made a You Tube Video to show off the new luxury center console.

The New Cigarette 41' Stern Drive 1040 - OPEN TO A NEW ERA


Cigarette Racing Team

Welcome to the new era of luxury performance center console powerboats. From its unobstructed 360-degree views to its one-of-a-kind drivability, Cigarette’s Stern Drive 1040 will change everything you thought a single boat could provide for providing enjoyment on the water.

See it in action and visit the webspecial at http://www.cigaretteracing.com/sd1040/ for more information.

It will be interesting to see if the bigger power available in the sterndrives will be able to offset the reliability and wide open throttle capabilities of the latest big outboards, or compete with the 5 year warranties on the big bolt-on's......
