In this episode of Factory Fridays, we visit Cigarette Racing Team's boat building facility in Opa-locka, Florida to get an inside look on how this legendary builder designs and constructs their high performance boats for their customers. Host Marilyn DeMartini joins Carlos Ruga at Cigarette for a in-depth tour of the boat brand's building process and philosophy.
Founded by Don Aronow in the 1960s, Cigarette Racing Teams remains one of the most famous brand names in the performance boat building world, and is synonymous with the entire market segment. Cigarette boats continue to push the envelope in terms of innovation and design in the world of powerboats. From the 59' Tirranna center console beast powered by a whopping 6 outboard engines on her transom, to the sleek 42-foot Auroris and the blazing 515 and 50' Marauder SS (with 3,100 horsepower) go-fast boats, the company's line of vessels remain greatly coveted to this day.

I don't have many workers but we all have Steelcase with more adjustments than some cars. I think they payed for themselves many times over. But for a boat company. . . never mind.

    • @@jays9211 I'm not as knowledgeable about the power boat sector as I am about Sail Yacht manufacturers, but I have certainly noticed that the majority of the major players world-wide have transitioned to vacuum infusion with vinyl-ester resin. Not only are they focusing on building hulls with superior structural performance that are virtually osmosis-proof, but also keeping their workers' exposure to resins and loose glass fibers to a minimum.

  • Since I was a child I always loved these boats on the other hand I really can't stand the name of the company it's like why??? Maybe cigarette should really consider rebranding its name because now that I'm in a financial position of acquiring one of these bad boys I must be honest I know It might sound irrational but as a Muslim the name does bother me maybe that's why you guys aren't selling well in Dubai or Abu Dhabi for instance at least that's what I've observed from my experience living and doing business in gulf countries...
