Lucky Strike
 

Anyone know what kind of boat the old Lucky Strike was, I know one was a 47' Apache but what else was Lucky Strike?

here one

I seem to remember from Key West 88' - a red Hustler named 'Lucky Strike' - was running either A or B class and If i remember correctly won the worlds that year.

The first was a 32' Hustler with a pair of outboards-I think it ran "V" class. (as in class five, the smallest, slowest class) back in the late 70's early 80's.

"Lucky Strike" was a Hustler 32, #S-71, that ran in '86. Boat was red sides, white bottom, and red & white top. I believe it was Lloyd Gootenberg, driver, and Gary Garofalo on throttles. It did have twin merc outboards. I also think Lloyd campaigned a 26' Hustler in '85 that was also named "Lucky Strike". Boat was #7 in '85 national standings in stock class. As 31 was Bill Kaye in "Captained Maitained" in a 22' velocity.

it was the first 47 originally chunky express

The 1st 47 was the Ben and Bobs yellow with blue lightning bolts 47

Loyd Gootenberg and Gary Garofalo won the 1986 APBA Key West World Championship in a red Hustler named Lucky Strike in the Sportsman Class. It was powered by twin 330 Pleasurecraft engines with Arneson #6 drives. The boat was so fast for its class that thier victory was challenged, but to no avail, Lucky Strike was declared the victor. As the current owner of the boat, I would be interested in any pictures of the boat as I am in the process of having her redone.

Hello, I am looking for other pics and info on the 47' Apache Lucky Strike. I thought the boat was mainly green instead of red ? Do you know where the boat is right now ? I saw once some specs of her and she is supposed to be much lighter than the other 47'
thanks all
