We have a whole series of phtos that we took at the Cigarette factory, while everyone was being trained. We used the same layup, the same resin mixes, the same gel coat producers.
Don Aronow set me up with the same windshield people that he used for the 28SS and the 35 Mistress and 35 Awesome. Even my first race boat, the hull #1, he had Stan Irwin build the engines for me. Stan was the same engine builder that built the motors for Doc Magoon in his NY run.
When the company was sold, the new owner began to change things. He did not have the same relationship with Don, so a lot of the pieces were not available to him at that time.

Now we know where they got the color ideas for Don Johnson's wardrobe in Miami Vice. Can't you just picture Charlie behind the throttles of this Stinger with that coat on.

This dealer was the one we bought all our outboards from, for the 24 and the smaller boats.

I think this is the boat that the hull & deck above became. It's pictured here at Cypress Gardens for a "Powerboat Magazine" advertising thing...
