It's not a 39 Cigarette, it's a 51 Cigarette. Originally based off their 50' Marauder model.

Here's an article on it.

I'm sure I'll give you more info than you want but here ya go
As stated, it's a 50 Cigarette Marauder SS built by Cigarette via a joint PR collaboration with AMG.
Not technically stretched since the original "50" Marauder is 51'7" in length. However the new AMG Marauder was in fact a widened 50 Marauder SS Cigarette built for the boat show for AMG / Cigarette collaboration which is in it's 11th year I believe.

Kinda nice they went from a three row rear seat to a 4 row rear seat. Widened a foot and a half is no small deal. They run Roughly 2 mil, where the standard 50 SS runs about 1.2-1.5. Cigarette has built about 50 50' SS models. The first 10(ish) were all triple / #6 boats 1075 boats with a couple 850 trips and one 700/nxt boat being built. The set up originally with the trips was kind've weird as it was twin motors forward and a single motor aft in the engine compartment for fear the CG would be screwed up if they ran the trips in the traditional manner. Pic of the old motor set up:

The original 50 Marauder's were stretched (all in the engine compartment) 46' Cigarette Rough Riders. After 10 or so were built, Phil Lipshutz of Lipship Performance in Miami (oldest Cigarette only dealer in the world) custom built the first 50' SS Marauder for staggered twins. Phil stretched the bow slightly, pushed the cockpit back a bit and shortened the engine bay to fit the staggered motors. This was right at the time the turbo Merc 1350 was debuting and they were put in the first few newly designed 50 SS Marauders. Speed was around 125mph and they were absolutely STUNNING with the new loooooooong bow. 2 pics of original example of the 50 (the gold/orange model is the 700SCI built boat that could be run on the single center motor in "silent mode" Because the owner took it to the Bahamas often and wanted to arrive discretely):

and a pic of the Lip-ship re-designed 50 SS that Cig used for all following Marauders:

Newest "Standard" 50SS Marauder:

And then the newest incarnation, the new 51 SS Marauder AMG "wide body":

And just as a send off, here we are at Gilberts in Key Largo a few years back as the 50' Marauder "NA NA NA NA" Leaves the dock. triple 1075 boat.

And class is dismissed.
