NNRT Offshore Classics

The first time I saw that boat in Key West, after the restoration and on its way to Europe, I thought it was of the sweetest offshore race boats I's ever seen. I cannot imagine what the other racers thought the first time it showed up to race against them!!

This was the former Bounty Hunter of Billy Martin. It was a 35 foot Cigarette and Billy set the speed record for a race distance of over 88MPH for the whole course down in Panama.

Satisfaction was the name given to the boat by Paul Clauser of Sunny Isles Marine. Sunny Isles is located just north of the Haulover Inlet, where all the boats that were made on NE 188th St, were tested.
