...I am looking to have some time to put an update about the boat, i am sorry but the boat is now in a friends hangar, currently took out the motors and emptied the boat. Will post some pics soon.
If anyone with a 36 posts some pics will be really useful, thanks.

This is for Black Tornado...Looking at the colors under the wood.....
And Side Exhausts....

Who Knows......

Looking Between the motors, i can see the holes for the exhausts with the staggered power....
Now covered with wood.....I can see only one hole for side exhausts....maybe the holes are not for the motors exhausts....
Merry Christmas Everyone !!!!!

Those photo´s are great. Thanks for posting MF. The deck arrangement to accommodate the cabin looks pretty dreadful. Thank goodness that´s gone now!! And Martini colours! Paging 7X Champ!! Richie, got more on this hull??

Standing to Black Tornado, this maybe could be the Aeromarine IX.......One thing that looks strange are the holes on the side...

Those small vent holes running along the lower edge of the engine bay cowlings should be a big clue. I´m going to try some detective work!!

One more Photo showing right side tank.......

Hi MF!
Established that the your 36' was a Dry Martini like the Martini's stripes in the back of the original deck confirm without doubts...

..like this picture of the Dry Martini(1- look the engines hatches) in 1973 show to us,
we must to discover if it was the former Aeromarine IX/Dry Martini(I) or the Fino/Red Vengeance/Dry Martini(II red),because the third Dry Martini(the lighter of 1973) now is in England.
look my comparison about your 36' and the two Dry Martini.

Here the hull of the Aeromarine IX in a picture taken in the CTC in 1972. The two stripes in yellow and blue seem are the same of that came out during the restorations.



Above the first race of the new Aeromarine IX;Naples Trophy in 1972. We can see that the boat haven't the exhausts on the sides but on the stern like all the boats with the Kiekhaefer (why Richie?).

Instead the Fino(powered MerCruiser) had the exhausts on the sides and when Bonomi bought it, must bung the holes on the sides.

That four holes bunged must be there today. Instead there are only two but clearly are not of the former Merc. exhausts shape.

I think that can be in a reasonable conditions to affirm that it was the former first 36' of Carlo Bonomi. The Aeromarine IX of 1972.

Here the details of the exhausts of the Dry Martini red.
