No. The Streaker raced in 1976.
Look the bows. That of n.13,Top Banana and the Bertram 38' Natural Light.
The n.13 have a bow similar to the Top Banana(not the deck).

In those days did the different classes start separately or all together?? I can´t make out which boat it is either. The deck is the biggest clue. Gonna have to dig out the old mag´s!!

That boat has a deck like a 90's Hustler....

Therefore it must be a Signature. ....

Was it something Tommy Adams put together ?

To me it looks a little like a Coyote/Cobra, with the raised step on the deck, but I´m sure if that was the case Charlie would be able to tell us for sure.

Allen - It some how will not be the same - when I look around a bar at a race - finding you and Dave - talking about old times - and having Dave say - Hi Phil - (who else would remember me) - well - dont know what to say - a loss - that has bothered me for the last few weeks -

Some how - you are Mr. Offshore - so quiet - but so knowledgeable -

I hope to be in Florida some time in January or February - will PM you - and try to meet you -

No one will replace Dave - I can hear him laughing now - specially at the thought of our talking about him -

Be well - Allen !

some day- write about you and Bill W. and the BossO Nova - and the Nova HP boat - the 24 with Twin inboards - a friend of mine had one - in Point Pleasant - just about the time i had my Bertram Barron - again - it attaches your name - and few will remember that -

Could it be one of the other 'JCS' designs? An Excalibur 31' perhaps?

99fever27,It have a bow similar to a Bertram 38' but it isn't a Bertram because the runnings strakes and the deck are different. Then the Benihana had the race number 4 and 5 and different colours.

DelawareRiverRunner,that ghost boat is biggest. Not a 31'.
