Aronow on him 36'

In H.O.R.B.A. website I found this image where we can read that it show Aronow and Wynne won a Club race.
No year. No name of the boat.
I think that it was the prototype of the 36' and(or) the next Art Norris famous "Slap Shot" as like as the number 2 show.
Correct?
Anyone know the year of that event? 1970?

Really Anyone don't know something..... :confused: :confused:

Hi Marco,

It definately looks like the legendary Cig 36. What a beaut!

Hi Nigel
You're right but what I wish to know is the year of that picture! :(

Re: Aronow on him 36'
 

Looks shorter than 36.......?........maybe a 32 (Cary)?

Re: Aronow on him 36'
 

But it's to much long to be a 32'.
Maybe the position of the crew(in highest position) looks the boat shorter.....

Re: Aronow on him 36'
 

1969 or 1970. Would Top Banana know?

Re: Aronow on him 36'
 

I believe you are correct. Don was a big guy but not that big. The 36 had a bunch of freeboard and a deep cockpit. Don would have had to be standing on a milk crate...

Re: Aronow on him 36'
 

I think was in 1970's summer. Then in novenber came the first official victory of a 36' with the aeromarine I of Magoon.

Re: Aronow on him 36'
 

Look the Doug Silvera's Starduster,that was one of the first 36' ever built and winner of the Bahamas 500 of 1971,and you will see that the crew was very high on the cockpit.....

Black Tornado:
The year was 1974 - early that year and the boat Don and Jim were in was a stock Cig 36 - just a demo- the race was the Palm Bay Invitational - at the Palm Bay Club, not the Jockey Club.
Just check King of Thunderboat Row.

I thought I'd seen that photo before........I should have looked and not opened my big mouth......:)

Re: Aronow on him 36'
 

Many Thanks PJRIZ!
Maybe the author,Michael,have confused the year 1973 with 1974......?
I will ask to him.

Blk Tornado:
In Mami, Nov. and December gradually move into Jan- Feb - so it is possible that yr is off. I doubt it, but if so, only by months. Michael lived at the PBC and was there.

Re: Aronow on him 36'
 

Crouse in Searace wrote of the Slap Shot of Art Norris like the former personal 36' of Aronow that he wont to made a race return in 1973......
Slap Shot made the debut in early 1973.

Re: Aronow on him 36'
 

Blk Tornado:
"Snapper Norris" drove the 36' Slap Shot in 73 that is true.
It just was not the boat in the picture. That 36 was powered with stock Merc 390s as the PBC race was limited to production boats only.

Re: Aronow on him 36'
 

The number(2) is very similar(but not the same) to that of Slap Shot....with new race MerCruisers and other little modification it can became a 36' Competition....
