You can look it up on your computer but the truth is: During the Prohibition era, "cigarette style boats" referred to fast, sleek boats used by smugglers to transport illegal alcohol (rum) from larger ships offshore to the mainland, often called "rum runners," due to their appearance resembling a long, thin cigarette, allowing them to quickly evade law enforcement with their high speeds; essentially, the term "cigarette boat" is directly linked to the practice of bootlegging during Prohibition
@@AA-ke5cu lol! “For what you are getting?” People who buy the Cigarette brand know exactly what they are buying. Outerlimits, Nortech, MTI, etc are all in the same price range. You pay for quality. All performance boats take a hit once used.
LOVE the AMG version Edit 5/26/23 -> Disclaimer: I really don't know shit about boats, so it was disengenous (sp?) of me to write "Love the AMG version" because it implies I have some actual knowledge, or would be prepared to defend why it is that "I love the AMG version." Truth is: I can't because I don't know shit about boats. So my original comment "LOVE the AMG version" should read: *_I LOVE the look of the AMG version_*
@@DrivingGadget I apologize I should have added a disclaimer: I don't know shit about boats, so my comment should read: I think the AMG Version looks really cool. Not being sarcastic with you at all. I will _edit_ the original comment.
And this is why you don’t let people who don’t know about boats make a boat list
I wasn’t aware we had 150 mile an hour boats to run molasses in the 20s. Lol.
lol, where did you get those prices and specs?
used during prohibition by rum runners? as in 1920's prohibition? because no they were not
😂😂😂
80s ......and it was cocaine
She probably to young to remember

Absolutely awesome!! High performance powerboats are the Kings of the water lol
Yea Your wayyyy off on your pricing... That nighthawk is like 1.5 -2 million, not 350 thousand
I think they were buying the engines lol
Used not new prices; the depreciation on these is massive. Cigarette is way overpriced for what your getting.

This video is so far off in so many areas that it should be taken down.
wonder what the 4mill boat cost to build. or the 2 mill and so on.
Wonderful rideing. Shall enjoy a lot. They're king of the ocean.
Do you use mp/h in water. Is it Also left &right on a boat??
MPH and Steering can be on either left or right for some brands and models, but the normality would be the right side(Starboard).
no such thing as mph on water.knmp.
You’re smoking crack! That AMG $250k in motors alone. Not including the electronics, the Hull and paint
LOVE the AMG version

Lol cigarette is just one brand of boat, absolutely 0 research was done for this video
We owned a yacht company in newport beach used to work on these boats and multi million dollar cigarette boats i love them !
Re do this and add in some Apache 41' Statement 42', Skater 388 boats.
The narrator is missing her lines once again again...The actual scripts goes: "Unlike we during the creation of this video..." *cue to* 0:32
Lmao🤦♂️ No, go fast and cigarettes werent built until the 60s. Not prohibition.
Bremerhaven has a good background in Boating history. Lived in Bremerhaven a few years and really enjoyed learning in that area.
Very good video.....
Damn, the last one is good.
Video has missed the fastest boats KONG speed boat does nearly 190mph
Kong is made by skater power boats
Kong is a 50ft skater
That's great. But it was all about cigarette. Not the same cat that everyone just copied
Really cool i want an AMG
Your about 100hp too high for each of the motors for the 2020 39 Cig.
annunciation and timing are not appealing.Also if your going state the stats for 1 state them for all
What?These boats where used to run coke. Not rum. Booze was banned in the 20s… lol on the 70s it was blow. And still illegal.
Ny motor skal få båt nr 2 til gå 200 knopp e topp 🔝

ONLY IN MY DREAMS WHOW MUST BE NICE TO HAVE MONEY UNCLE SAM LOVES THOSE PEOPLE FOR SURE ENJOY TAKE CARE,,,
Have a NUE hull desing in testing fast stable
I got the NEED for SPEED; pocketful of CASH; not so much.
Not running rum ........ we running cocaine ......... get it correct
Im guessing there is no marine life where they go 140mph
Ha! Most of the boats shown the engines cost more than their reported price.
Prohibition era? Hahahaha
Sales Headquater in Bremerhaven??? Where in Bremerhaven???
These people know nothing about boats and are just reading ebay sales pages.
Venomous voyage.
I'll wait for the ev model.
these prices seem a bit off.....
Awesome history. Study.
Used by Rum runners?...I guess rum is a code word
Wow perfect example of not doing your research thoroughly. Sad.
Ragamuffin one of the best
Øke farten 3 ganger med ny 666 🆕 motor
😆🇺🇸 Mercy
Extremely low effort video, prohibition... Run running... get real
RUM
All specs should be metric, no one uses imperial anymore! Thumbs down.
You do know there's three countries that use the imperial system?
La calidad del laminado es espectacular.
