Looks like Mercedes is coming out with a new "cigarette" Hull
boat. and with two gas-sucking mercruisers, it ought to move
pretty well

"The latest AMG boat is propelled by two 9-liter V-8s sourced from
Mercury Marine; combined, they produce close to a whopping 2700
horsepower.

Despite this astounding amount of power, Cigarette Racing claims
the engines can run on regular pump gas, which is a good thing,
since any mention of fuel consumption is conspicuously absent from
the official AMG press release. Much like the price tag on the
boat and the C63 Black Series itself, if you have to ask about the
fuel consumption, you probably can’t afford the vehicle itself."

There are a few of these super high speed powerboats (though not as
powerful as your example) roaring around Chesapeake Bay on flat calm
summer days. Usually with no mufflers. I suppose if one's penis isn't
working, having a super ultra-high-speed, super-loud "Cigarette"
style
boat that annoys everyone else enjoying the Bay is the way to go.
When
they crash into another boat or flip, the news videos are
interesting.

They have to be muffled going through Kent Narrows, or they'll be
ticketed.

Hope you're day is spectacular!



I've read about devices that open or close the mufflers on these boats
with the flip of a switch or lever. I think it is called a muffler
bypass. I wonder if the guys who do that are the richer dads of the
high
school twerps I see (and hear) driving around the (usually) little
Honda
cars with the big aftermarket tailpipes and no or unrestricted
mufflers.

I'm sure there were cheers from the shoreline when this happened:

"They said it was going too fast for the conditions or the
capabilities of the boat."

Conditions of the water don't look bad, and the boat was probably in
decent shape, if just bought,
so I'm thinking it was the conditions and capabilities of the operator
that caused the spill.

I don't think the 'tuners' to which you refer are owned primarily by
'rich kids'. The 'rich kids'
drive new Mustangs, 'Vettes, Jaguars, etc. There is a certain crowd
associated with 'tuners',
especially those with flame decals all over them. There are several in
Rose Hill Apartments. You
know, the place where all the MS13 folks hang out.

It's funny.. Here I am reading the comments on the news page and the
wife of one of the injured comes in telling how folks like our friend
above, comments have kept the poor child up at night crying while her
dad is in the hospital...

The group was great for a few days, why bother with the agitators?

Guess I should have re-read.. I meant "because of comments like the one
above, the girl is staying up at night and can't sleep".... The comment
I was talking about was harrys, just so I don't get taken out of context...


It's "agitation" to point out examples of what appears to be incompetent
boat handling? I saw the comments of one of the wives, too. She was
defending her hubby but made no comment about whether his poor judgment
was a factor in the accident. Why are you "personalizing" this?
