The 35' Bounty Hunter was purchased by two Panamanian businessmen and rename Panama Hawk. (Best of my recollection).
Cigarette Hawk #2 was the old 39' Rampage and was run by Craig Barrie.

Assumed that it was a 37.5, but Andrew seems to be right that it's a 35. Interesting that it's #17. Doubly interesting that J Jacoby / US-1 has reverted back to Ajac graphics after runnning that season as Cig Hawk? Need a couple 'runners at mile marker 84 & a few more nightcaps atThe Bull to ponder all this!

According that the 37'5" Ajac Hawk in foreground was #US-1 of Jacoby,who drove that other 37'5" Cigarette Hawk #17?
They are two pics posted by h2oboater in post 204 in Back in The Day thread,and was clearly taken in Key West 1982.....
Anyone have a picture of Panama Hawks?!

Fairly sure that H20 took those two pix on the Detroit River; Belle Isle in the background. #17 would have been used until the end of the regular 82 season, US-1 applied after clinching national title & before Key West 'worlds'
Would be interesting to see any pix of the Panamanian-owned Cig.....

I had been drawn in deceit by the background and convinced it was Key West.....
However yes,would be interesting to see any better pix of the Panama Hawk.

I just spoke to Jerry Jacoby and asked him about this....he said a guy from Panama wanted him to make him a race boat that was 35 feet ....not the 37.6 and paint it to look exactly like his 37.5.
So the other boat was a 35 and looked the same but was called Panama Hawk.
Mystery solved from the horses mouth.
