I am going to try for next week. He told me when he got it that there were staggard big blocks with v-drives in it. He said they were junk and hauled them off to the dump??????? One persons trash is another persons treasure.

A right tease
Blonde II - raced 1971/72,repainted red?
Blonde III - raced 1974,then became the white `Thunder`,then `John Player Special` and lost.
Blonde IV - raced 1972/73.
So none of them fit the spec,assuming the spec is correct (1970 built).
Looks more like a gob job on Blonde IV,with duff info to hand.
Come on solve it,otherwise `Black Tornado` won`t sleep at night.

With that cabin type deck, it looks like it might be the old 36 footer of Wishnicks that Howard Arneson bought and converted to a pleasure boat.
So the year may be correct after all, just the name of the boat is wrong.

Does anybody know how many cigarettes were made in 1970?
Is there any way to track the ownership by the serial#? I hope there is some good history behind this boat. In any case it will be fun to own and restore.
From what I understand the first year of the cigarette factory was 1970? I thought the cigarette boats were made earlier than that?
