I could put together an rdp trip.. whoever wants to bring a boat bring it.. those that want to sponsor said boats get a ride.. lol

It isn’t cheap to campaign a big boat across the country.

So today has been a interesting day.. we lost a valve or something.. but something is touching something it shouldn’t because we have a knock on the port motor.

To make shit even better.. we pulled into a gas dock right near lake pals house which happens to be where the trailer for the Cig is..

We are hanging out drinking beers.. there’s these big concrete squares on the dock. Dan steps on the corner of one and fell right through the god damn dock.

His foot is hurt…. But I don’t think he broke it. We left him at marina and dropped off bubba and photographers at big dicks halfway inn. Me and Brooke are almost back to put the Cig on the trailer.

Damn. Hope @H20 Toie is okay. Hopefully the engine isn't too bad either.

I'll pay for a ride.

And make it easy. Lock in the Redhead Vacation Rentals and sell those off.

I love the classic 90mph Cigarettes and their simple gel schemes. I remember when those originally came out and they did the writeup and photo shoots down in the Florida Keys. Bitchen boats!!
Only 5 or 6 of the true 90 mph themed guns built. They were stagger 38’ top guns that were guaranteed to do 90. In that position. There a true 90 mph model and the other just has the paint job. They’re both owned by the same guy. His buddy is driving the other boat. 😁

Got Eric onto Todd fountain and ron slozaks 41 CC’s for the day. Should make for some good content, those guys are ballers balllers. Not trying to keep up with anyone, they don’t have to. Great guys. Great group. Eric should have some good stories.

We got to the boat a little late this morning and ran up to big docks. Leaking oil from
Port motor but nothing serious. Just have to throw some in and keep an eye on the pressure. We ran from big dick back to res head with conner and Ray. Had a sea soo cut directly in front of us at about 85 mph. Kelly was FIRED UP!! He stopped was about to choke these kids out. But to their credit they came over to the boat when we stopped. We told the m they gotta keep an eye out all around when they’re riding. Would be a bad day for us. Would Fuckin kill them though. I think that sunk in. Good kids. Very respectful. Probably 22 or so.

Heading to cigarette party now. Here’s some pics from the day.

Damn Dan, that sled is sure keeping your pocket lite with all these recent repairs.

I would rather deal with a hurt toe/leg than a hurt boat.

Drink up and enjoy the night. 🥃🥃

Thankfully i have been using Barrett marine and So-cal marine for service on the boat, No way would i be able to run it without AJ and Mario, they are both next level service.

Can't even tell you how much they go out of there way for customers, i feel really fortunate that i have found places of this caliber to take care of my baby

Honestly it would probably get a lot of attention, there are some bad ass cafe racers here, its all about having a good time not how big or expensive your boat is. you have peeps here that are very well off, you have peeps that are just ordinary worker types, doesn't really matter, just enjoy the Cigarette brand

Kelly gif mr congeniality (which plays, he’s a lovable fuck). Dan got furthest travel award. So basically our table took 30% of the awards! 😁👍

The party was great. Brett and mark at PBC do a great job as always. They auctioned off a bunch of cigarette stuff (signs banners etc). RD actually got a pimp ass banner and didn’t even know what he was bidding on lol. The auction was due to not being an official cig dealer But that don’t matter, they’ve already committed to keeping the run going next year!

We’ll be back next year. Going with PBC’s Tim Gallagher and Brett Manre tomorrow out for the day. Pics to follow.

I actually don’t know if they were gonna do it but sounds like they’re throwing up the middle finger in defiance. 😁 announced it last night they’ll be holding it again. We’ll be here. 👍

Funny you posted that boat. Little trivia Lorenzo fertitta built / owns it (as well as the yachts hodor and lonian). He originally built and owned “mind if I Smoke” my buddies 42’ tiger were riding on this weekend and he built and owned the 46’ Rough Rider Helios that’s here as well.

Very sorry about Dans boat. His foot seemed a lil better last night after a few drinks.
Had a great ride to PBC this morning, lake was flat at 630am. Breakfast at Stewarts on the Lake. Enjoying some very relaxing time on our lil 21 Shadow now. Had this traffic jam earlier

Skip sold the company and couldnt care less. Ruiz is new owner. Got into a pissing contest with PBC and yanked dealership. Mark and Brett decided fuck it were still gonna hold a cigarette run. It’s awesome. As always. They do a fantastic job but really, it’s just all the owners that come from across the country to boat and have fun that makes it so awesome. Fantastic event!

Speaking of which we were running Back today and the copter came down on us again and got some great footage (here’s last years)
