During the era of [[Prohibition in the United States]], these boats were called "[[Rum-running|rum-runners]]" because they were used to transfer rum from larger vessels waiting outside the [[territorial waters]] of the United States. The high speed of the rum-runners enabled them to avoid interception by the [[United States Coast Guard|Coast Guard]]. More recently the term "'''cigarette boat'''" has replaced the term "'''rum-runner'''". The present era of cigarette boats, dating from the 1960s, owes much of their design to boats designed for [[offshore powerboat racing]], particularly by designer and builder [[Donald Aronow]]. During this period, these boats were used by drug smugglers to transfer drugs across the [[Caribbean]] to the United States.

==History==
[[Don Aronow]] became involved in powerboat endurance racing in the early 1960s. He founded Formula Marine, Donzi Marine, Magnum Marine, Cigarette Racing Team, Squadron XII and USA Racing. Aronow formed the Cigarette Racing Team in 1969 with Nick Beauchamp. He had a World Championship win in an unusual 32' Cary race boat called "The Cigarette".

The story behind Aronow's development of go-fast boats is documented in ''Thunder Man: The Don Aronow Story'' (2009). The film, directed and produced by Silvio Sardi and narrated by [[Andy Garcia]], won Best Documentary at the [[Beverly Hills Film Festival]] after a premiere at the [[Cannes Film Festival]].<ref>{{cite journal|work=Motorboating|url=http://www.motorboating.com/news/don-aronow-movie-preview|title=News: Don Aronow Movie Preview: Award-winning Don Aronow movie to preview at Miami boat show|author=Peter A.
