history
Donald Joel Aronow (March 3, 1927 - February 3, 1987) was an American designer, builder and racer of the famous Cigarette, Donzi, and Formula speed boats. He built speedboats for the Shah of Iran, Charles Keating, Robert Vesco, Malcolm Forbes, and George H. W. Bush. President Lyndon Johnson- in retirement- owned several 16 ft. Donzi speedboats on his Texas ranch with which he would race his Secret Service agents.
Having made his money in the construction business in New Jersey in the late 1950s, Aronow moved to Miami in 1961 where he began racing boats for a hobby. By the end of 1962, he had formed the Formula Marine boat company which he then sold and in 1964 he started Donzi Marine. In 1966, he founded Magnum Marine with Elton Cary and, in 1970, after campaigning his "The Cigarette" around the world and winning the World Championship, he started Cigarette Racing Team using his own designs. Having sold Cigarette for the last time (after having sold it and purchasing it back in the late 1970s), he formed USA Racing Team and built the Blue Thunders, 39-foot catamarans used by the United States Customs Service to patrol U.S. waters and run down illegal offshore activities, especially drug smuggling. Aronow's close friend at the time, Vice President George Bush, was a former Cigarette owner and was involved in testing out the 39-foot cats prior to government approval.

Additional FeaturesListen, I have seen a ton of go fast boats over the years and nothing is better than an original Don Aronow design means quick on plane design with little or no bow rise when throttle is given. Most euro late model designs have a fluted transom so when you take off they tend to have high bow rise. This one never looses sight of water. To top all issues she has low hours stock twin 420 hp MerCruisers with smart master gauge on dash and is MerCruiser claim to fame with total digital engine monitoring system, it watches fuel temp, H2O, oil, as well also has GPS, depth, and more.
I have been on this boat and she rides like no other. Engines are pristine as well as the rest of the boat. for a 80's model boat that runs stock late model engines- it is a buy. Most high performance boats - lets face it. You have to turn a wrench every time to tunes those blown - high output engines. Not with these - they are factory and you have 840 horsepower stock! I have been on her at 3000 rpm's and we were at 30 knots not mph. At 3500 rpm's we were @ 40knots. Fuel burn was 28 gph. You could not get that with any other package without spending the 35k this owner did. He has had her since birth and wanted her to be back in factory turn key position and she is. Seller used the boat to dive. She has full electronics package you may keep or sell. She has two styles of sun pads, one with color to match the boats stripes and another full thicker white for no worries fun, comes with bimini with front isinglass, also has two cockpit covers on partial and one full, original cigarette life jackets (4). Engines were just serviced with filters, oil, outdrives and was completed 8-24-07, note if you do not need the truck toy hauler he will sell separately.
