wasnt jenny's express an apache

The first Jenny's Express was an '86 Cigarette 35' flat deck with a race fairing, 540 C&G's and #3 SSM's.

The second Jenny's Express was a 41' Apache.

Gary's FIRST boat, and I'll bet Will Lynch won't even remember this, was a 1985 35' Cigarette Mistress w/ 330's & TRS. It was also named after his daughter but was called Jennifer Ann.

The 85 Cigarette is how I met Gary,He was up on a sandbar hard aground off 28th street with a load of people.I helped him shuttle his crew back to his house until the tide came up.That was a nice looking boat but only had 330s in it.I had 370s in my scarab and Gary could never catch me. He always said thet Gigarette was an impulse buy ,But he corrected that the next year with 1st Jennys Express with the 540s,Couldn't catch him then.

Hi Tom -

One of the passengers you picked up was Jeff Mathias, who is OC Mayor Jim Mathias' brother. That was right around the time Bill and I met Gary as well. The other interesting fact about Gary's first boat was that he boat it at the miami show and was tied betwwen the 35 Mistress and a Tempest (42?). Luckily, he passed on the Tempest and bought the Mistress. Gary sold the Mistress to Tommy Sperl. Tommy then bought Dollar Bill from Bill.

We should get together sometime at the beach for a drink. I don't know if you know Will Lynch and Bill Purnell, but they are great guys as well.

Hey Barry, any more pics?

Will -

I have tons of pictures, I'll bring them to the beach the next time. I'll see if I can get a picture of Satin Doll from Bill S., I can't locate my Satin Doll pictures. Funny, I was going to call you today because I want to mention someting to you. If you get a chance give me a call at my office 470-1035.

A lot of those pics seem to have purple in the back with purple, silver and black stripes. I drove to MD a few years ago and brought home a 1984 38 flatty with the same paint.
I would love to find out some history on my boat.

I may be able to help. Do you remember who you bought it from? Bud Schmidt, a local Buick dealer had a 38 that may be yours.

I can track it back to 95' for sure as I have all records and receipts since then. In 95' A guy by the name of Tom Rockstroh and had much work done at Benney's Marine . In 97' it had a lot of work done actually what looks like a total rebuild at mainly two shops Benney's Marine and Ventnor Marine a guy by the name of David Rosseau owned it then posibly in Pasadena or Baltimor. The guy I bought it from in 04' also had a 42 lightning and a turbine couger mainly ran it on the bay. There are a couple of other names associated that maybe I can dig up but I cant be sure they are concerning ownership. Have you heard of the shops mentioned.

Thanks

Well the funny thing is that Tom Rockstroh is in this thread in earlier posts by JETTSDAD. He's a good guy, I haven't seen him in many years but I'm sure he can give you more history. If you look back through the thread, Tom talks about a 30' Scarab he also owned. Benney's Marine is a guy named Jim Benney, who I don't know but my engine builder does. Ventnor Marine sounds familiar, but there are a number of guys on OSO from around the Pasadena, MD area who would be more knowlegable about them. I've met Dave Rosseau a while back, when a shop called Racing Parts and Machine was building blower motors for my Coyote and blower motors for his Cigarette. If I remember correctly, Dave, like most of us has been through several Cigarettes.

Hope you find this helpful
