So I'm guessing that it's fair to say these things are somewhat hard to come by compared to finding an old mistress or 36'. How many were out there originally?

From the looks of it, the boat is similar to the Bounty Hunter that Billy Martin is running right now. Is that correct? (Edit - I finally saw better pictures of Bounty Hunter, I'm guessing it's a widebody 36' not the narrow 35' like this boat).

Thanks again!

It`s similar but not the same. The Boat Billy is currently running looks like the widebody 36` Since I have been responding to the forums it makes me think back and wonder what 35` it was that billy ran for a few races, I wonder if it`s possible it could have been the 35` Conspiracy/MightyMouse boat. If Don asked to use it from the owner I`m sure it would have been no problem, and if I remember he only ran it once or twice as Don had him run the 39` halter brown and black boat??????????????????/ Makes me wonder, I don`t really recall, but would make sense if nobody knows what happened to the 35` 7XCHAMP

New Old Pic's Of Burn Baby Burn

It took about a year to find these pictures of this Cig. These were taken about 20 years ago in the Clinton Township Mi police impound yard. My friend Terry said it was very sad to see it this way. One of the hatches were missing, and all the eng & electrical hardware, and full of snow. Shure hope that it is in restoration.

I believe that was when it was at Shadowoods off of 15 mile road. They use to be one of the impound yards that clinton police used. That's when I seen the boat my bro kept his late model racecar there.

If everything go's as schedule Rob's boat will be going into paint towards the end of the week, your brothers engine compartment is all done except for gelcoat I have to tint up a turqouise color. I am pulling it off the trailer and starting on the bottom soon !
