What's the difference between just a regular speedboat and a cigarette boat?

[-] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 weeks ago

I think mostly the size. Cigarette boats are more suited for offshore racing and have much deeper hulls than typical speed boats.

They also are long to help with stability, but also because they originally used them to smuggle booze from the Caribbean during prohibition.
