Barry-
our Excalibur had an orange hull, and white deck. Yeah Capt. Jack Bunting was vicious beast back then. I remember coming throught the inlet one time and it put a wake/wave over our bow that I thought was going to sink us. There was not a dry person in the boat.
I think I do remember your Cigarette. Did it sit on a rack outside facing the highway right outside the doors to the boatel? I spent a lot time at Bayside during that time as my father was rigging a 16 foot Baja with a 200 merc at the little marina at the top of the hill. I think it was the sleekcraft dealer??? Again i was only 8-9 years old.

What a squirrel the guy that owned Puritan was. He lived on the Eastern Shore and kept the boat at his house. He always had trouble with the boat because he knew nothing about it. Later on I heard on the street that he hocked his wifes wedding ring for drugs!!!

Now you are talking about the days that got me hooked on these things. When I was little I would ride my bike a few blocks down the street to Harbor Island just to look at these boats. I always told my friends that I would own a boat like them some day. All of my friends (except Purnell) thought that I was crazy and full of sh*t.
I remember Smokin' Joe, Jenny's Express, Silverado, Silver Dollar, Dollar Bill, Miss Tugo, Geronimo on occasion, Satin Doll, Leathal Weapon, Easy Rider and quite a few others. My favorite was Jenny's Express, especially after it got the wild yellow paint job. These boats are the reason that I am hooked today!

Lethal Weapon
If it is an 1987 TG, then yes it is. I sent Hot Duck some pictures to post, but that is the old paint scheme. When Ron Doller redid it in about 1994, it had a much more flowing, contemporary paint scheme.

Last I saw it was probably 2 years ago, when the owner trailered it to VA for the Jammin' on the James Poker Run. It says 'Lethal Weapon' in big scripted letters down the sides, and has big blower hatches.
wigginout here on OSO knows the owner well.
