    Description

    Price Reduced March 2016

    Winner of the Cowes Poole Cowes Offshore Powerboat race in September 2015.

    Average winning Speed 77.1 mph.

    Set new Course record.

    Maximum speed in excess of 90 mph


    Probably the ultimate classic powerboat, this Cigarette Racing - Don Aronow Bubbledeck' which is probably the best prepared historic race boat anywhere in the World is now ready for her next owner.


    Only 2 Cigarette Racing 'Bubbledecks' were ever built, this is the second / lighter boat designed and built by Don Aronow (the founder of Cigarette Powerboats) with a Kevlar hull originally for Al Copeland Snr - of 'Popeye s' Chicken Fame.


    This is the famous original Popeye s Raceboat and in addiion to Don and Al she was raced by, Chuck Norris, Malcolm Meynard and Ben Kramer then in latter years Steve Curtis.


    Being a proper Deep Vee Cigarette Race Boat, this boat comes into its own when the seas are rough and choppy. Steve Curtis, the Ex-World Champion Powerboat Racer and owner of Cougar Powerboats has raced this boat in the USA and he says "what a good boat in rough water .

    The current owner purchased this Cigarette Racing - Don Aronow Bubbledeck in July 2011 and commenced a complete and fully documented / photographed rebuild, with the only original part being the hull itself - being Kevlar was in excellent condition and no hull cracks or repairs were detected plus no areas of moisture.

    The paint scheme was taken back to the original white, both inside and out (perfect for Sponsor s logo s). Four extra fuel tanks, just forward of the cockpit bulkhead, that had been installed by previous owner were retained in place as they were in AS NEW condition.

    DART Tall deck block engines were installed with Mercury Racing No.6 Wet Sump drives and were checked, machined and balanced by SEDIR, in London. Built by probably the best race boat engineer in Europe the installation is second to none.


    Engines:


    DART Tall Deck Blocks. 4.5 bore, 4 3/8th. Stroke.
    Kiekhaefer Deep Pan Oil Sumps.
    Kiekhaefer Racing Trim Tabs.
    Callies Dragon Slayer Crankshaft.
    JE Pistons.
    Mahle rods & valves.
    Wilson heads - Fully ported and blue printed.
    CMI exhaust System.
    Holley Tunnel Rams.
    Quick Fuel Marine Carbs.
    MSD Marine Electronic Ignition.
    NGK Spark Plugs
    Daytona Crash Boxes.
    Mercury Starter Motors & Alternators.
    No. 6 Wet Sump Drives - completely stripped down and rebuilt - repainted - AS NEW.
    Mercury Racing 5 Blade Racing Propellers.
    Autometer Gauges.
    RayMarine Navigation Equipment.
    Icom Weatherproof VHF.
    Boat Intercoms crew communication.
    Military grade toggle switches for all circuits.
    Automatic Fire Extinguisher System.
    New Drive shafts.


    Road trailer:


    This Cigarette Racing - Don Aronow Bubbledeck' is offered complete with 6 wheel MYCO trailer which has been completely overhauled including re paint, new wooden supports fitted with new carpet, new running lights fitted and converted to Air over hydraulic braking system with a full trailer extension to protect drives, two 5 Tool boxes and a US Style Ball hitch coupling (for greater strength).

    Owners Comments:


    On testing in October 2013, during initial sea trials at 5000 rpm we were running 83 mph. We have since installed larger carb jets and different spark plugs. By choosing slightly different propellers, we would hope to achieve a maximum speed of 95mph + (hopefully the big 100 mph, if conditions are perfect).

    During my ownership and since the rebuild, it has never been stored outside, it is currently stored in a heated warehouse, in Hampshire, England.


    This has to be one of the best classic offshore race boats in the World!
