Circus Circus Offshore Boat
Does anyone have pictures of the Circus Circus race boat from the 80's?
The reason I ask is because I grew up around it, my moms B-friend was the throttleman.
It would be nice to see some pics.
Thanks in advance...

I believe this is the same boat...now. I know it started out as a Circus Circus boat but I believe it already had turbines in it before the new owner bought it.

Could be early 90's. Would have been the same boat though as there was no other one the CC sponsored. This was the same time when Kaiser had sponsorship from Excalibur Casino.
We got the first 3 40' hulls and they were 1991-92 and this hull was like #5-7?

The years C C raced were 1991 to 1992 with OPT. Reliable One here on OSO was a team member , he may be able to give more info. Here is a class rundown from 1991.

Tom Gentry leased and ran the boat in the APBA world Championships in Ft Meyers in 1993 with John Connor on sticks, I think they broke. I won the worlds in the Scarab we set the world Kilo record with, Superboat V Omar Danial on wheel and Norman Gentry as Navigator. I believe the name on the circus circus boat was Gentry Eagle 99 . Deal was put together by Freddie Miller from the Gentry Calif. shop.There were some early extensive posts about this on OSO, seems like about a year ago ?????????
