FERRARI CONFUSION?
Thriller (the airex one) became Coors Light Silver Bullett (Craig Barrie) then Ferrari. Confirmed in a Jaguar write up in Hotboat.
The new lighter Ferrari became Toshiba then Snack Attack as confirmed by the co driver of Snack Attack at the 2001 Key West race, and also confirmed by an article on Toshiba which states it was the ex-Ferrari that raced at the 1990 Monaco Worlds.
Another report states that 1990 Bay City had both Ferrari boats,the brand new lighter one and the old Ferrari (crewed by Mandy`s brother David and Craig Barrie).
I would have liked to post the evidence ,but the files are too large to post.
There are many unanswered questions on the history of Jaguar boats,and one day will try to sort them out.

Manny did bring the 2 Jags to bay city that year i also raced that race, the backup or older Jag started the race with 2 crew members and quickly retired. I am pretty sure craig barrie was not there. He also brought both boats to the two other michigan races that year although if i remember corectly one of the Jags trailer broke on the way to the race and never made it. Seams like the older Jag thriller/coors/hawk/ferreri did race again under another name in key west in 1991 but not sure maybe heavy metal

A couple things, the Thriller was 2500# when built in 86 so it was much lighter than Ferrari and It was also running in Ferrari paint when it won the APBA world title also side note Manny liked to run a little trim tab which stuffed him in Daytona and Thriller was known as Toshiba the last I Heard and was in New Jersey.

MORE FERRARI INFO
Toshiba was referred to as ex-Ferrari that raced in Monaco.Looking at some photos I took at Monaco the 2nd Ferrari that raced in 1991 and the back end of 1990 (boat had the cowls behind the cockpit) was also the one that actually raced in Monaco.The 1990 APBA winner (no cowls) was left on the dock.So from that,it would appear that the second Ferrari became Snack Attack (it had the cowls in Key West 2001),and Toshiba was ex first Ferrari ex-the Airex Thriller/Coors boat.Can`t find any reference to say it had also been the red Hawk Power which was at the 1989 Atlantic City Worlds.
I have Sunoco as being the ex-Special Edition before it became Rolling Thunder,unless told otherwise.

The 35FT Jaguar "Rolling Thunder" would be an ideal OPA Class 2 or Class 3 boat; I would love to see Arnold and Dave bring back out of retirement again.

Yes and back then it was a lot of work.
I was with Dave at the SBI event in New York, last September. He has more fun with his friends on his Cigarette than he does racing the Jaguar at a fraction of the price. It's several thousand dollars for each race, and that's if nothing goes wrong (set-up, fees, crew, fuel, etc)

Toshiba is being converted in to a pleasure boat as we speak.
