Cigarette 39 Competition. That one has a unique extended fairing to accommodate larger fuel tanks. The #3 drives had a unique drop-away skeg system. The boat was Nordskog's endurance racer.

It was Bob Norskog/Powerboat Magazines boat and C.A.M stands for Canada America Mexico non-stop.

A friend of our family bought the boat from the Norskog family and did a full restore on it. Spent many years in OKC, OK, as well as Lake Texoma and FL. They are twin 850 Gentry Turbos. Our friend sold the boat then moved on to the next project.

The boat was unreal!
