How come Doc Magoon sold the boat to Charles Gill? First of all, I think the boat was given to Doc Magoon as a ‘gift’ for winning the world championship, so you’d have thought he’d have wanted to keep it and secondly, it was just about the quickest thing of it’s time, so that’s another good reason to keep it. Oh, yeah and it was utterly beautiful, so there’s a third!!

Gene, it hasn’t got the trademark wind shield of Bonomi but I thought you may like to see this to bring back some memories. I took this the first day I got to drive Dry Martini………pretty special moment on two counts, firstly I got to drive an incredible piece of power boating history and think about all the greats that has been onboard. Secondly, it was one of the few days it didn’t rain in the UK!!!

Mike has been out of town for a few days visiting his son in LA. He gets back here next week, so I'll no doubt end up going for a beer with him. I'll be sure to pass on your regards and ask about LakeX.....what I would have given to gone there! I got talking to Billy Martin Jr last year about when his Dad was testing up there, really interesting.
For me the 35 didn't look so good with the wind shield. Bonomi's 36 looked like a $1M with it.

That sure is a Great Looking Old School Race Boat. Love all the sharp angles! Does she have two bow docking lights, looks that way. What was the power and drive line set up? That thing is a Killer wave crusher to say the least.
