Steeb,you are making some confusion with the hull #3;
it was originally American Eagle of Tom Gentry and Richie Powers in the 1976.Then the boat was sold to Bernie Little,boss of the beer brand Anheuser Bush and it made race Joe Ippolito in 1977.
Then The boat was purchased by Barcenas that rename it Panama Hawk.
Tom Gentry then purchased in 1978 a second 35' from Weichselbaum his Mighty Mouse ex Conspiracy and as Richie Powers tells us, sent the boat in Australia to race in that championship as American Eagle.
About the Banshee I know little. Runs without success in 1977 and 1978 the championship USA with a certain W.Cole.
I am a great deal some that then that boat become the Daddy Cool.

Barcenas
Here we go then Marco.
R.Barcenas drove Panama Hawk in 1982.
Now this might seem odd,but I have now amended my records such that Panama Hawk was ex-Satisfaction,ex-Bounty Hunter II.
The 1976 American Eagle (White) ended up in 1978 as Ajac Hawk,prior to Jacoby having a 37.5ft Ciggy.
Somewhere in all the internet diatribe the above was thrashed out.
Logically you would think Panama Hawk was ex-Ajac Hawk,but there were people on the spot who said otherwise.If you are undecided about the above I will have to dig out the facts as I noted them at the time.
More darkroom time methinks.

When I see the picture, it all comes back. The trailer was one of the first really custom type trailers built. It was built to my spec`s by Jerry Rossi of Target trailers, it became the forerunner of the custom trailers that followed, Myco etc. The trailer was a story in it`s own and at the time was the talk of the industry. Many inovations we came up with that are on the trailers of today. It was a work of art, one of the first Imron painted trailers etc. It is definitly the trailer for American Eagle #99 1976 UIM world champion.

Panama Hawk
Looking back through the files,I see `fast donzi` mentioned Ajac Hawk and Panama Hawk were two different boats,but thinking about it,he was probably referring to the 37.5ft Ajac Hawk,in which case the 35ft Ajac Hawk would have been Panama Hawk as Richie has stated.
