Hey Charlie Jr or Sr Do you think this could be the same boat after it was retired.

Re: How many banana's actually raced?
 

Almost forgot about Adam's.

Hey Rick,

I don't think that x-11 boat that you posted is a Banana.

Looks like a pantera, or Jaws, or Rabco or something.

oops!

Re: How many banana's actually raced?
 

Before I sold the company, we did not make any boats with the headlights in the side of the boats, we did not have any headlights at all. Also we did not make any boats with the square side portholes or anything except hatches on the deck.

So, I would say all those boats were made after the sale.

In cleaning out an old storage trailer we found a bunch of the original banana decals, not the first type we used, but the final version with just the word banana on a white background with yellow and black outlines.

If you look at photos of the side of the 38 foot race boat Top Banana, they are just like these. Also a box of old T-shirts that are similar to the ones shown in the photos of the Bacardi race that the crew was wearing in the pits. Black with all lower case white lettering.

Any interest?

Air Dog is planning on painting his boat hopefully soon any chance of getting a couple of those decals.You wouldn't happen to have any Banana Boats left in storage?

Re: How many banana's actually raced?
 

I'm interested in some decals because I too will be either painting or
re-gel coating mine in the next couple of years. I'de love to get my hands on one or two of those tee's also. How much would you want to get for these items?
