Smilin’ Jacks M-80
Hi, I hope this helps, I to am interested in seeing a video of Smilin’ Jacks M-80
Here are the results of 10 races from different states
This was an advertising of your uncles business.
The boat was a 1986-1987 UIM Champion for 2 years until the record was broken.
since I bought the Boat back in 1999 to present. I’m going to show some pictures that I took from a 1986 Official Souvenir Program.

Picture’s
Back when I was a spectator, I took this picture in Key West in 1986, I had my own power boat but not a race boat.
Formerly the Smilin’ Jacks Boat M-80, The Actual picture of what it looks like now, There are still some signs still on the Boat that will make it 100% legit.

Smilin Jacks marina in Jupiter was still around in the mid 2000's. It was a steel building on the water just inside the inlet and a bigger concrete building just a couple miles west.
They were a Mercury dealer and Scott and Lou bought it and were rigging Bahama 37-41 foot CC boats there. Not sure what happened but the steel building got sold/torn down. Arguably it was very expensive real estate and the area was changing towards higher end waterfront bars/restaurants. That never got developed, just an empty lot now. The rigging/maintenance shop further west is still operating but I don't know who is actually running that.
