Tribute to the original 90MPH Cig's from back in the day. I love it!

I think there were like 5 of them made back in the early 90's.

The Top Gun 90 MPH not only sounds like something straight out of Miami Vice but looks like it, too.

The Top Gun 90 MPH is being built by the Cigarette Racing Team, a Miami boat company. The Top Gun, company officials claim, is the first production boat capable of cruising at 90 mph. The boat is powered by a pair of 825-horsepower aluminum engines.

The 38-foot Top Gun 90 MPH seats six, has a fully cushioned sundeck race hatch and a host of standard amenities above deck.

Below deck, the Top Gun 90 MPH features a leather interior, icebox, sink, freshwater tank and bathroom.

''She's as sleek as a jet fighter's wing,'' said Cigarette president Robert G. Gowens. Each Top Gun 90 MPH is made to order and comes with a guarantee that the boat will exceed 90 mph. Buyers also are invited to an all-expense paid weekend at the factory for a two-day course in operating a high-speed, high-performance speedboat. The course is supervised by Craig Barrie, a world-class driver and throttleman on the offshore racing circuit.

Interested? For a mere $350,000 you can have the fastest boat in the neighborhood.

I follow now. Pretty cool.

And they (Midnight) did do a 5 outboard deal a couple(?) years ago. I remember that. But the sheer size of that boat...man, thats a big freakin center console.

Thanks again for the pictures.
