We built that one for Dominick Palumbi and it was originally christened "What-A-Package". Later it raced out of Florida and won a regional high points Championship as "Panama Jack". Since then it has been renamed for a pair of twins, a pizza company, and some other incarnations.
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.

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.........

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!
