sportboats is an unknown quantity at this point
No, it is a Cigarette Racing boat inspired by AMG. FYI Mercedes does not build High performance boat engines. The boat does not use Mercury power. It comes with 1350 hp Mercruiser Racing engines. Big Difference!!

I would need to see the GPS of it doing 130, the rough rider is just not that fast of a hull, that hull has been around a long time it is not a new product line, and yes if you took AMG off the side it is a very nice Cigg with sweet Merc motors but nothing AMG about it except the marketing

Actually, Bud showed me the GPS peak hold: 130. This is a new bottom and a new deck.
