The man built some amazing boats...but no doubt at all there was a lot more to the story. Aronow knew damn well at some point where those boats were going. He made a proverbial deal with the devil and it ended up costing him his life...captivating story nonetheless.

Yeah thats true! And it makes me smile seeing the boats that he built that people still own today that havent been changed in any way.

Here is a boat built by Don in the 1980s when Cigarette and Squadron XII were merged:

I have seen some pics of that boat before. In the distant future I wouldn't mind having a fully restored classic cigarette style boat in addition to its more modern sibling.

That boat is owned by my friend down at our marina. Its a beauty and it is immaculate. It runs a slower 85mph compared to what Cigarette's today can do.

I'm sure Dame Katrin is as beautiful today as she was then.
