Turnin' back time

Hey guys,

I have scanned a bunch of photo's from Roger Munn's photo collection.
Time to share them. If anyone has any details to add, feel free.
This stuff was way before my time.

Let's start with Billy Martin's Bounty Hunter. What model of Cigarette was it?

thats so great, why do you tow out to the bay or ocean? thats what i do with the sutphen, but with a 13 whaler not a 27 mag

That's a Cigarette 39 Competition that later competed as the Fayva Shoes boat. it sold last year for peanuts and was repainted in the Bounty Hunter colors. It was running around Key West during Worlds week last November. We were out running with him- it ran really stong. The boat was due to be shipped to its new owner in France right after the races.

Actually that's partially wrong- the boat that went on to be Fayva was one of two bubble-deck 39's, the other being Copeland's Popeyes.

I thought that one had a bubble deck on it. Are you sure?

You bet your sweet ass it is!
After a few hours of racing in the open ocean, It's probably pretty annoying!

The 40 was an extended 36 Cigarette (it needed it) You could tell from a distance it had the Wale on the side at the Sheer and the other one was a streached 35 Like LongShot a 39 with a crease in the hull side.

Not the same boat. The bubble decked Bounty Hunter was in Key West. This one was the flat deck.

Great pics, keep them coming!

I believe that looks to be a 36. Sweet old ride. I would love to get my hands on an old race 36.:drool5:

Bounty Hunter II was a 35 foot Cigarette with an 8 foot beam....the 40 and the 36's had 9'6" beams

I stand corrected. Charlie, it looks like that one from the Catalina race pics that you were looking for not too long ago. Did you ever find out which 35 that was?

 

[jayboat]

Great shots, Jeff. Keep em coming.
I just had to do a quick re-touch on one...

I saw the 35 In Jersey Billy said it ran 92 MPH Not bad in those days The old 36 Cigarette did a little 1-2-3 thing @ 89 better hang on and duck.

If you look at the port side entry On a 36 at the Stem Knee they were all "sucked in" for a couple feet at the chine..

Anglo and I rigged Longshot a Kevlar 39 Cigarette at Haggertys shop in Miami.

 

[Chris]

Yes, I was completely wrong. The Bounty Hunter in KW was the 39 Competition bubble-deck. The one pictured above was the 40, based on the 36. Bob Norkskog had a 39 competition flatdeck as did Craig Barrie- the Coors Silver Bullet raceboat, that's for sale on Craigslist right now.
