When it comes to boats, typically the owner is concerned primarily with the overall aesthetics and materials used to showcase class and style. In many ways, the performance and power of the vessel tends to take a back seat in the initial boat buying process while the potential buyer sifts through the various hull designs and brands. Only then is the performance considered and engine configuration taken into account.
Cigarette Racing boats start a bit differently. As the boats are intended to meet high speeds, performance, and navigation, boat seekers look primarily at the power first and then on the hulls. Yet, there is not too much consideration to be given to the hull as the Cigarette brand has a very iconic design. If you love power and performance and are looking for the top brand in racing boats, here is what you need to know about the Cigarette brand.
The Power
To push the Cigarette Racing boats across the water, the brand uses a number of different engines. Twin Mercury Racing 520, 540, 565 engines with Bravo 1 XR ITS Sport Drive are common, so are triple Mercury 300 Verado Engines, 350 SCI Verados, and twin mercury racing Staggered 1350 Qc4v engines with Dry Sump m8 Drives. It really depends upon the model that you choose. One thing that transcends all of the models is that you will get a very fast ride, but a very controlled ride as well.
Common Features
Although there are several different models, there are some things to the Cigarette brand which makes the boats iconic. These features are the narrow sleek hulls, the vibrant colors (reds, blues, yellows, and combinations thereof), racing seats as opposed to the bar seats and traditional captain’s chairs, and an interior design in tune with that of the racing community.

Where can the Cigarette boat be used?
The difference between the Cigarette Racing boat brand and other boat brands on the market is the fact that they are very high-speed boats. As such, there are limitations to where the boat can be used. For obvious reasons (that being the populace) high density tourist locations may restrict use of the boats within a certain distance from shore. The best location is offshore Atlantic.
Boat buyers should take into consideration that these are narrow boats with extremely high speeds. They are not intended for anything but for cruising the seas. Rough water should be avoided, as even though the boats are designed for stability wind, waves, and pounding on the side of a high-speed vessel could result in rolling.
