My buddy Kelly, who is not a member on here but is known by some of you through our trips running this boat all over, owns this blue 42' Cigarette Tiger "Mind If I Smoke". This boat was commissioned in 2000 with #6 drives hooked to Richie Zul 1,000HP blower motors and was originally built for Lorenzo Fertitta who founded and later sold the UFC organization. Fertitta has been an avid powerboater for many, many years and has owned some ICONIC Cigarette's including the 42' Cigarette "Mind If I Smoke", the 46' Cigarette "Helios", the recently commissioned 42X Cigarette "Drogon" as well as Skaters, Nor-Techs and other high peformance boats. He also owns the super yachts "Lonian" and support yacht "Hodor". "Mind If I spoke was delivered to Dick Simon Marine in 2000, as Fertitta was living in Vegas at at the time. He ran it all over So. call, Florida, Mexico and over seas. "Mind If I Smoke" is also the famed boat @RiverDave was stepping off of in LOTO when he broke his ankle and is also the boat that Kelly found nearly 10k in cash stuffed away in a remote part of the boat.
Anyway, came across this photo from probably 2001 I hadn't seen in a few years but I always dug it. Shows both "Mind If I Smoke" and "Helios", Fertitta's previous yacht, running down the coast. It's just a bitchen shot, thought I'd share the photo and the history behind it.
