A "go-fast" is the preferred boat of many smugglers.The cigarette boat or go-fast boat is a high performance boat of a characteristic design. Originally designed for his offshore racing team by Donald Aronow, the fast, powerful boats became notorious as the drug smuggling boat of choice in many parts of the world in the 1990s and first years of the 21st century.

History
Don Aronow became involved in powerboat endurance racing in the early 1960s. He started Formula boats, Donzi boats, Magnum, Cigarette, and Squadron X11 (12). His boat, a long, narrow 32-foot (10-meter) hull using twin MerCruiser engines, was called Cigarette, after a Prohibition era rum smuggling boat. When he retired from racing in the 1970s, Aronow formed the Cigarette Racing Team, and continued to build offshore endurance racing boats of similar design. The innovative Cigarette was successful enough that boats of that type, even by other makers, are still commonly called cigarette boats or just cigarettes.
