How many different Bounty Hunter boats were there?
The reason that I ask is because there is one sitting in a barn here in Illinois. A friend of mine bought it in Florida in the early '90's and sold it to the current owner. I don't know what color it is. Big Andy a 40' a 35' a 39' a second 39' nicknamed 'Bubble Deck' because the rounded deck. Today Martin is delighted with an old 36' cab. For the pics see the post #14-15. BTW if the Martin family knows others Bounty versions ,pics and data will be much appreciated. |

There are five boats that have brought or still bear the name of Bounty Hunter for Billy Martin; all are Cigarette boats.

Hi Black Tornado, do I assume that you are related to the Balestrieri family?

No relation with Balestrieri. Just when I was a teen I was a fan and loved his boats. |

Shot of Bounty Hunter racing this year in a local English race, with on charts,the son of the guy who restored Magnum Tornado after it sank in the Cowes - Torquay - Cowes race in 1968.Bounty Hunter has just received fresh engines for the 50th running of the Cowes - Torquay classic,when it will be up against Dry Martini IV (35ft Ciggy),Apache 41 (ex- Lipship Special),Unoembassy (40ft plastic Shead Hull,sister of Diesel Dancer that came 2nd in OP II at 1989 Atlantic City Worlds) & Cinzano (ex-De Valle 38ft CUV).
So those 4 boats should recreate the good old days of a true offshore battle in the English Channel. |
