The new 52 Thunder from Cigarette Racing is loaded with technology that includes hatches that open with a button, tables that retract seamlessly into the sole and backrests that slide out of the gunwales.
Available with five or six Mercury Racing 500R outboards or four 600-hp Mercury Marine outboards, the 52 Thunder (52’ 1” LOA, 14’ beam) is an all-new hull with a 23-degree deadrise. The helm has seven fully adjustable, shock-absorbing chairs, and the dash features three 24-inch Garmin displays. The three bow loungers or the chef’s kitchen on the stern are great spots to entertain. Below, Cigarette Racing provided a cabin with air conditioning, seating, and an enclosed head with a shower.
