Restoring vintage high-performance V-bottoms, particularly those from Cigarette Racing Team, started long ago as a hobby for Dustin Carter and his father, Danny, in Broken Arrow, Okla. Some 18 years later, that hobby has become a full-time business called Carter’s Powerboats—the company became a Limited Liability Company (LLC) last year—for the 38-year-old machinist by trade and his dad.
In progress at Carter's Powerboats, this 1990 Cigarette 31' Bullet sportboat is coming back to life.
