HORBA is pleased to announce that DADDY COOL has been purchased by HORBA members, the Bochis family. John Bochis former owner and driver of Crazy Greek now has a new toy to play with.

They will be at the April gathering of old race boats in South Florida for sure.

Does anyone out there know for sure what this boat started out as?

It was the 7th 35 Cigarette built. That means it was built right after the Spirit/ Benihana 35.

Was it Bounty Hunter? or Isis?

Will the boat be coming to NJ?? Maybe we can get John to run it in OPA along with Bounty Hunter.

Dad says it was not a Bounty Hunter, but Roger Munn would know more specs on the boat. Hope this Helps
Jr

was it the Spirit of Panama for a while

Hey Jr. your pics look great in the mag!! How are you, pop, and those cute girls i met in OC???
i heard that the hull sat @ rogers shop in NJ for a brief period un rigged. and someone came to roger asked about it and Mr. Munn rigged it and raced with the person. i wish i knew more. I would hate to be putting out bad info, but that is the story i was told from the locals when i brokered the boat a few years ago but it didnt sell then, owner wanted to keep it...

best and happy new year!
Christian

Billy Jr....thanks... ask dad about the 35 called Impossible Dream it raced with # 10 on the sides.

It is not the same Impossible Dream that was a Gara that Barry Cordingley raced.

I remember this 35 Cigarette by that name it was at the Bushmills one year...maybe 75 or so?

Do you guys still have the Orange 39 Bounty Hunter along with the one you guys raced recently? Thanks for getting your Dad back out there. I have a lot of old magazine articles on him.

Is there any plans to repaint it back to the way it looked when it raced???? I wanted to buy it and do that to it, but wife said no "race boats" something about a cabin blah blah blah...........

Hey Christian, We're All Doin Good, How bout you? Thanks for the info on Daddy Cool, it was more than I know. I know My Father ran the boat with Art Swift Some 20+ Years ago, but I was Real young at the time and dont remember much Bout it all. Glad to hear from you, will you be runnin in 07?

Have a great new Year!
Jr.

Top Bananna, Asking Dad About #10, but am not sure of the question? Please Elaborate on the question and will give any info he's got on it. Thanks and Have a great new Year
