All great shots guys. I love this thread!


Here's one in the 20 Cigarette from a couple of seasons ago.

Just a nice little "bip" off the top of the cap. The boat landed nice & smooth as expected, & we kept on cruisin down the lake:

B,
Holy CRAP, you got some of the best air so far in this thread, especially in the size boat your running. I know, it's a Cig, it'll take any water thrown at it!
Nice,
Dean

Nice,

Haha, thanks Dean!

My 20 Cigarette is strangely easy to navigate rougher conditions in than the 20ft Formula I grew up driving as a kid, & the Cigarette is a lot smaller of a boat than the Formula was, both width & overall length.

I'm definitely not saying that to try to sound like I'm making the Cigarette anymore than it is.....a 19-20ft boat. It just breaks the waves a little different, & causes itself to level out almost naturally, rather than by a specific trim position. That's all part of what makes the boat so fun to drive!

Here's another one from that sequence:



My buddy that you can see on the Port side, hadn't ever ridden in the 20 before. He was yelling for more after each "bump", which makes it even more fun when your passengers are loving it.

Here's a neat sequence from the helicopter one day during the week. We just happened to be in the right place at the right time to get the pics:

Awesome air pics. We were at Grand two years ago and saw a helo pad on a dock in Duck Creek. WAY cool. Hope to make it back up some day. Pretty lake.
