It was somewhat heavy, and not as fast as the later "Captain America" we built (see below). It also did not have particularly attractive styling.... but it has lasted , it seems, forever.....

By the way the entire boat is wood fibreglass composite...not just the bottom.

As the owner of "Panama Jack", I can say not only did that boat win me Rookie of the Year, it also won the Gold Cup, and National High Points Championship in 1990. The coveted P-1!
The boat was a great time for Terry Hill and I, and we had a fun time racing her those years!
Ken Adams and Rich Luhrs along with George Linder were involved with Conquest at the time.

It has been a while but this web site has amazed me again......T2k thanks for all the great reading.....Those boats were way ahead of their time......Nobody appreciates the heart and the passion that went into boats back in the day.......Now it's just how fast can i go and how much is it going to cost.........

Thanks again mike bacha

I'm 99% positive I saw that boat on one of those shows similar to "Party Heat." The driver of that boat was intoxicated and hit some kids who were tubing behind another boat. Luckily nobody was injured.
