E- MA RINE Cigarette Cigarette, “the American offshore legend”, is ERH’s high-speed, high-performance jewel. Cigarette is not only known for its speed-defying boats, but also for its repertoire of attractive “Cigarette models”, that showcase the brand at boat shows, sporting the latest in Cigarette Racing gear. Don Aronow produced Cigarette's first boat in 1969. Aronow built the first Cigarette factory on 188th St. in Miami, which soon became known as Thunderboat Row. He won several championships aboard his 32 foot boat, with its cutting-edge deep vee design. Over the years, the company became synonymous with water power. How powerful? The 42 foot Top Gun can deliver speeds of over 105 miles per hour. That powerful. www.cigaretteracing.com
