He went past me yesterday as I was heading back home from Glen Cove. Looked and sounded great!

The boat ran great and amongst some serious iron was by far the coolest boat at the run. Billy puts on a GREAT event!
It was a honor for us to rig this boat and finish the resto for Tom.
Thank you, Matt!

Yes, the 35 foot Cigarette that was raced as SPIRIT and then sold to Rocky Aoki and raced as BENIHANA was sold to a restorer in New Jersey a few years back and is still undergoing it's restoration.

I have not seen any resto photos in quite a while, but they are probably plugging along to make it perfect as it should be.
