They hired world famous graffiti artist Alec Monopoly to paint a boat live at the party!

RDP’s very own Dina Rella was present for the whole thing covering it. Here is some of the pics!

Not likely. People that follow this guy pay huge money for his work. I’d bet some collector buys the boat just for the paint.

That is very likely. Like the Lambo that that sharpie artist did up a decade or so ago.

Maybe you didn’t notice Dave, that’s the cafe racer you brokered the deal for that cigarette bought. 😉👍

Too bad they ruined that cafe. It was super nice. Another monopoly boat huh? There was already two different skaters and a black thunder. Paint schemes kinda been done.

Ugh..I feel bad for the person who bought the 24. The tanks were shot in that thing when I worked on it.

Ha, yeah, I'm jealous. My boat is a real piece of shit. 😂
If it runs on 2 isn’t it out in front of you!? Did you get it fixed yet? Your boat is bitchen..... on the trailer...... I’m totally joking, I hope it wasn’t catastrophic..... My point is that there’s an ass for every seat, there’s a following for every look. People blow this up like it’s junk, then get into their tribal graphic 496 boat and say it’s all the rage! It doesn’t matter if it does 200mph, looks like a Crayola box puked, or looks like a board game give away promotion, someone likes it and will buy it and go have fun on the water with it! Most on this board forget, this is about BOATING!

I disagree, there are certain things that just flat out don't belong and bring negative attention to the industry (insert any industry here). Boats like this, West coast fucker, post 2000s Kachina's, or boats that are capable of producing tsunamis all attract the kind of boaters that will in time lead to more regulations and less open waters. Just because it floats doesn't mean it's appropriate....just mt .02

I assume this was more about a germane topic for the Art Basel https://artbasel.com/miami-beach crowd in Miami.

I’m sure Cigarette was doing a tie in with all the parties going on this week down there.

No future owner is gonna put that boat in the water. It’s going in a personal or public Muesum after they auction it off for charity

Mine goes to Barrett on Wednesday. Most likely a bad lifter...it happens. It has taken me this long to find a shop that can take it. Insane how busy they all are. Actually a lot of them are just backed up because they can't get parts or materials. Nuts.

But yeah, everyone has their different tastes. Everyone has their opinions too. And everyone has a right to both. At some point there is a point for everybody where a certain design or color scheme will cause them to say (or at least think) "That looks like shit." If a boat was painted up with brown turds all over it, I bet that thought would cross your mind.

I can appreciate the talent and work that went into it, but the end result is beyond my threshold of what I think looks good. It's still better than the one Mrs. Riley 1 posted...dear lord. But, I hope someone likes it and enjoys it if that's their style!

And with this thread were Off to a great beginning and the official start of winter! 😂

No shit! I often wonder how some people get through the days as negative as they are..

I don’t get it. Cool party, famous artist, and somehow we end up talking about some chicks ass and ghetto birds.. wtf?

That party costs more than most of these guys make in a year. Hell I’d bet for most even a couple years. I would have loved to attend it!

You’re in good hands with AJ, and quiet frankly, the ONLY hands to be in! He is the best of the best! Hopefully you’re prognosis of a lifter is correct!

The new owner of cigarette is aiming to blast the brand out EVERYWHERE!! This was a publicity stunt.

I personally think they ruined a really clean classic cafe racer that just needed some TLC to make it bad ass. I didn’t even mind the original graphics just needed to get rid of the pink. But I also think less is more. But whatever, to each their own.

Most of it probably will wash off. Doubt intended permanent.
