Oh sure, now you want an answer, after not coming up with any answer forme about how much of a treasure trove you still have of old offshore stuff.

That picture was taken from an ad that said:
"Old Race Boat for sale...lost storage, first $1,000 takes it"

Right on 2, but the abandoned boat is a 39.....I just threw it into the thread on 40 footers, because Marco tried to sneak that 36 footer Tamarand Seed in too.

El Indio
This in foreground isn't a Cigarette 36' like was "Blonde IV".
This was a 37',5 of Jose' Rodriguez in 1981 I think.
Really a 37',5 was it ?!
In background a Cig. 39' "Long Shot".

Sorry but isn't correct "Can-Am". The Nordskog's 39' was "Powerboat Magazine Special" then "C.A.M.Special" in 1980 for some races,then back to the old name.
Nordskog's big boats fleet included a Cigarette 35' in 1973-76(American Viking II-Powerboat Magazine Special) and a Scarab 38' in 1977-87,(Powerboat -Los Angeles Skyhawks-Powerboat Magazine Special).

Back to the 40' now!

Bill Elswick in Bushmills Grand Prix of 1978.
It's a 40'? hull with a new deck and builted in January 1978. After 4 years that the lasts 40' was built.


Seem a 36' long.....


In this publicity they said 36' Performer,but I think is not a 36'.
