I do remember him coming back in on one engine alot as I think those engines were tempermental needing lots of adjustments and reliability issues. His next boat was a 83' 35 Mistress with Mercrury 460's but ran all day.

Sorry Tom, I've been busy. Yes, my good friend Bill had this boat built new by Mark McManus and Don Aronow in 1978. In fact, I had dinner with Bill and two of his general managers last night. We were talking about the building of Satin Doll and how much fun we had with it. I was just a young kid and met Bill doing some of the maintenance work on Satin Doll, we've been close friends ever since. I blame Bill for me having owned 5 Cigarettes myself! LOL The 100 octane Av gas was delivered by the airport folks to a tank Bill had installed at the marina. The late Doug Ake (an OC legend) maintained the boat. As far as I know, Satin Doll was the first 38 foot pleasure Cig. It even had 37.6X by the Cig emblems. It had a reconfigured deck that was narrowed and stretched form a 36 Cig deck. It was heavy, when the boat flew and Bill chopped the throttles, it was quite a jump.
