I looked at the first one listed the other day. It is on a lot about a half hour from me. Harry, your description is right on. I got up and took a look and she is rough but still looks solid. she is missing one of the drives, don't know if they have it or not didn't ask. I didn't lift the hatches to see what the engines are like but my guess is nothing has changed since it came up to South Carolina from Florida. If it was a flat deck I might have asked more about it but I was never a big fan have of Jean Claude deck. The ribbing on the front of the deck reminds me of a tin roof.
If anyone is remotely interested I could go take some better pictures.

The boat for sale on Boat Trader was for sale about ten years ago in Florida. Greg Gluck at American Offshore Marina in Dania had the boat. It had staggered 500HP/496CI stroker motors, and Speedmaster II or III drives. Three man bolster and a small cabin. The boat had the signature Jean Claude deck. I believe the boat could have been had for about $15k-$20k back then. It was pretty rough and needed lots of love. Sat on an original steel Target tri-axle trailer. I always liked the boat, it was just too much work at the time. I wonder what the ask is these days . . . I have the old photos somewhere, I have to find and scan them.

Yeah a project for sure. If it didn't have that deck I might have asked some more questions. With Staggered engines and what looks like ballast tank drains that have been filled, I wonder what its history was? Wonder if it was ever raced?

Yeah, like i wrote in post #5 :-). Bill Wishnick´s Boss O'Nova II, was not a Cary, but a real Cigarette 32' (it had the deck from the new Cigarette 36'). During 1972-73 Willie MacDonald drove the former Boss O'Nova II as Wild Willie Boss O'Nova.

Billy also had a 35` cig. Greyish blue color. Bud Larrow rigged it for him when they were together. They had a shop over of NE 17th ave. in N. Miami, have no idea where that boat ended up. Bud would probably know. 7XCHAMP
