I actually love the Lock & Load name. I like multi meaning names. This is a top gun so it fits, but it congers up the image of it being GO TIME in an aggressive manner - “LOCK AND LOAD!!!” Like it’s all
business and ready to get serious. It’s just a great name. Whomever originally came up with it nailed it.

It’s funny because I’m not crazy about the name of our boat. But with the flames and the fact the boat is well known by the name, it’s grown on me. These long-standing names add to each boats notorious or iconic nature. Like you said, you can say L&L to anyone that knows cigarettes and they know immediately what you’re talking about.

What kind of numbers does you boat do? I love how these big power Cigs have a comfortable cruise range. There's a few videos of your boat that show what a Cigarette should be.

Heard Ron hit 108. That was with wet sumps and before motors were rebuilt.

I’ve never opened it up. Bumped it up to 95 once with ease pulled like a freight train from 65 to 95 and got there in a blink of an eye. I was far from pinned and there was a lot left. Only time I ever heard the blowers really start to scream either. Love that sound!! lol I’m easy on it. Try not to beat it up. Run at like 60-70 90% of the time. Don’t know if I’ll EVER open it up. Just nice to know it’s there if needed.

Like Tank said you can’t change the name,these are iconic names that need to stay with these boats. Now you own one, Tank has another one.Hot for Teacher, Warpath, Razz These names need to stay with these boats.
