Despite this astounding amount of power, Cigarette Racing claims
the engines can run on regular pump gas, which is a good thing,

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.

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?

Sorry, not familiar with "Rose Hill Apartments," but apparently you are,
so perhaps you will elucidate. Don't know what you mean by "tuners,"
either. But I see a lot of the cars to which I referred lined up heading
north on Route 4 in the morning, waiting to turn into the high school
parking lot. Maybe we don't have as many rich kids in our area as you
do, because I don't see many Corvettes or Jags in the lines. I do see a
number of Mustangs, though, usually being driven by the girls.

As for the guys in the boat, from reading the news article, I'd agree
with you that it appears to be a case of operator error. Were they
showing off for the chicks on the beach?

On several occasions you've referred to the MS13 gangsters living right across the street from me.
The only source I can think of would be the Rose Hill Apartments, the big apartment complex behind
the shopping center, with which I know you're familiar. That apartment complex is heavily populated
with Latinos, many of whom own 'tuner cars' or tuners.

Actually, I have referred to the MS-13 gangsters who hang out in and
around the Springfield Mall, which is a couple of miles from your house.
If by "shopping center," you are referring to the little Safeway
shopping center near your house, yes, I am familiar with it, but I am
not familiar with any apartment complexes behind it.

I appreciate the "tuner" references. I've been referring to these cars
and their drivers as boy racers, which apparently is now an obsolete
term to describe that particular car cult. A lot of the high school aged
boys around here drive such cars. The first thing they seem to modify is
the exhaust, to make the car loud. I suppose they like the attention
their exhaust systems get from the local sheriff's deputies.

I read those comments from the wife of one of those involved in the
accident. Instead of defending her husband's apparently stupid
boathandling, perhaps she should have put her foot down and told him
that as her husband and father of their children, he had no right to be
engaging in that sort of behavior.

About 25 years ago, a friend of mine was out duckhunting on the Bay in
one of those dark green aluminum "duck boats." It was cold as a roomful
of ex-wives that day, and while I don't call the circumstances, the boat
capsized and my friend and a buddy of his drowned. At his funeral, the
comments included remarks from his close friends who wondered what the
hell a married man with small children was doing out on the Bay on a
bitter cold day hunting ducks from a small boat.

Indeed.

No, the child apparently was up at night because of the comments on the
page where the story was reported locally on the news...

Well, I'm sorry the kid had to be put through that. But, that's something parents should consider
when acting like dumb asses.

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.

Hope you're day is spectacular!

I'd say they look like it John. But there is probably more room there than what meets the eye. It might be a pain to pull the back cap or 'hood' off of it, but the engines are right there and at least not crammed down between the stringers on a typical V-8 I/O.

I'd think that the maintenance on them wouldn't be difficult, but probably frequent.

The facts you admit to knowing are often amusing. ;-)
