The KAAMA Cigarette, recently got a full restoration over the past few years.

Mine on the other hand, last I seen,it was rotting away in some field in back of a marina. Guy I sold it to, started to do a conversion to bravo drives and then I guess just gave up on it. Broke my heart when I seen the pictures of it. :(

It started out as a 41' Velocity, the mold was shortened and dammed to make it a 32'. Its one of a kind. Built strictly for racing. Was super light. Guy I bought i from ran twin blown 1100hp big blocks. It ran around 120 with that set up, but was a little squirrely. He was scared of it. I bought it with no power. Just the crashbox trannys and headers. I built the motors that I raced with.

This was the boat a little after it was first built. It ran a season under Winston cigarette livery, then after that Hawiian Tropic sponsored them. ( I tried to get them to sponsor us again, but never heard back...)

Even the drives are BMW. Dad had a bunch of 180hp and 220hp engines with low hours. I’m pretty sure we put in the 220s.

The drives were the same for both engines. He still has a pile of drives at his house.

Here are some pics… I took these yesterday in my dads back yard.

The photo of the drives is apparently too ‘large to load’ and might blow up the server.
