Those 2 boats turned me into the boat nut I am today!
You may vaguely remember the competition between Executioner and Dillinger, back then!!!

My best memories I being a kid was at the Benihana and the craziness that went along with racing. My dad, Tony Perry and Rosatti worked on that boat night and day!

When my cousins Mickey and Butch built Star chaser I was a teenager. I use to love bringing girls back to the marina, uncover Star chaser and hang out on the boat like it was mine! It worked better then Patron!!!!!
