Yes... and the 46 w/ 1200 Cobras. I saw Bill a few weeks ago. He's doing great!

104 w/800's is quite impressive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are a few pictures of the Spider Boat. By the way, the best that I have heard that it has run is 114/115. I have two good friends that have been onboard with Bill when that happened. Bill also has a 46 Cig that runs 117.

Primal Instinct
97 with 950 chiefs and 6's More to go Currently set up for big waves

At the time it ran that speed it had the boost turned up to
950hp. They are now 850hp and still respectable.
We will meet up at Kellys or PIB in the summer.

Strong 800s, and Arnesons with Hering props.

Thanks for posting pics of the spider boat. Now I remember it.

December of 1978. Mar del Plata, Argentina and the boats are being brought down from the port of Buenos Aires, 200 miles to the north. The offshore World Championships were about to begin.

We all watched as a fully covered boat comes into the pits and Bobby Saccenti, who was the throttleman on the boat, begins to uncover it.....AJAC HAWK. This was the first ever 37.6 built. It was taken out of the 39 foot mold, by blocking it and adding a 9 foot wide 36 foot race boat deck and trimming and adding length to it.

After much fine tuning, that boat beat me in the Bahamas 200 in June of 1980 by 30 seconds....that was the first win ever, by the boat to be called later the"38 Top Gun"

Light on fuel, good water conditions, with the approx 700 HP engines we had back then, the best we ever saw was low to mid 90 MPH.

I've been in Bill's 46 at 117MPH, rode like a dream!
