If you were to remove the arneson drives,the aft end styling,intake scoops,cockpit is as per Dirty Laundry/Spirit of Numancia/Sea Escape.The boat was referred to then as a 40ft not 42ft,but then length references have always varied when boat lengths are quoted.Many of the other CUV cats that were in the U.S. did not have riveted topsides.Can`t imagine a CUV cat from outside the U.S. being brought over just to use as a fun boat.Dirty Laundry was first raced in 1990.

any more been seen anywhere,

Old Systems Boat Still In Ft.myers.in Great Shape. Errol 954-922-1967

This was a small CUV 36' oddball as I remember. Angelo Meli had rerigged in North Miami with Leonard Codumo. It never ran like the 38's and floated around Miami for a few years.

I believe Caliente was for sure a 38'. Looked a nice boat. I didn't know that Meli/Codomo had any history with it!!

Was the Jag powered Bonner supercat ally?

Sure was.
