1981 Worlds....200+miles, Ajac Hawk & Apache put a thumpin' on the cat's. Big Seas, Deep Vee's! Or as Mr. Luhrs would say while pacing the 41 Apache a few years later in the same mess... "Cuttin' through the big stuff, eatin' up the reef!!

It's the #17 Cigarette Hawk but I don't know who drove it at Key West 1982.
Jacoby drove the #17 Cigarette Hawk in all the APBA season in 1982. I thought that that boat was the renamed old Ajac Hawk but maybe it was not so.
In the Ajac Hawk in the foreground the race number is not visible,but maybe it's the US-1 of the new becoming APBA Champ Jacoby.
I have poor informations about that APBA-World Championships of 1982. Maybe one of the two 37'5" was the former Popeye's of Copeland?
By the way the real World Championships that year were displayed in three races in England and the real World Champion was Renato Della Valle in a CUV 38' MerCruiser.
