If that in Chicago is the hull from the Cigarette mold is the Performer 40' Night Moves that Bill Elswick drove in 1977 or 78. Not a Long Shot.

This one exactly.
On the HORBA website there is a lot of pictures of Elswick's boats where you can compare the versions.

Bob Latham of Latham Marine was the throttleman on M-144 Evil Ways for Bill Elswick when they won the 1977 Benihana Grand Prix Production Class in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ. Bob and Kathy are two of the nicest people in the sport.

Like many of the characters in the Offshore silly circus, love em or hate em, you'll never forget them!

And that's our own ****ie Carlson holding the flag with Steuwe. They organized the first Chicago race that we had to stop because of weather. I even sent the USCG helo to bring Betty Cook back!

Heh, heh. I love the way the program censored Carlson's name. Maybe we should call him "Richie"?
