Wasn't just one boat that I can think of. Around here in the late 80's - 91 or so they had several Formula SR-1s, a Chris Craft Stinger, a couple of Scarab Panthers, and a Baja 280. I loved them all and was hooked.

Saw the powerboats all my life, but what really did it for me was Flash Gordon and his poker runs. I was about 18 when he first bought that eliminator - remember it like yesterday. I didn't get to know him that well, but I sure do miss him and his boat . I am very happy to have run with him.

Early to mid 80's @ my parent's shore house, Barnegat Bay. I used to see a 29' Mirage (B-33) Kamikaze test running owned by a woman up the street. Through the years I got to know her and ran in her A-class boat 1991-94. (a different 29' Mirage A-33)
Prior to that I used to love watching the Bennihana in Pt. Pleasant but no paticular boat stands out.
