I was watching an old race from early 80's that I have with Red Cloud and Capillas Danger Zone Cig. to the Bahamas and I was wondering what happened to it. I remember seeing it many times in the 80's around Miami. But then again I haven't ever seen the owners again either.

I'm with Stinson on this one, "LETHAL WEAPON & RED CLOUD" were 2 separate boats.

Hey Robert I know that I have a video of them somewhere racing each other at the same time deck to deck but haven't been able to locate it at this point....

I haven't asked Peter Roca as I misplaced his number but I believe they were two diffrent boats..

I'm telling ya I'm pretty sure they are the same boat. Lethal Weapons first race in the 41 Apache was Key West 1988 and the story I remember is it was the old Red Cloud. They got the boat right before this race. We need someone to confirm this either way...

I saw Lethal Weapon in neglected state at Kurts Marine in Brick NJ a few years back. The boat wasn't run in ages by the looks of it.

Dr. Gary,
At the time I was up at Kurt's looking at another Apache to buy, but I was told that Lethal Weapon was one of the heavier race boats any truth to this? I remember looking at the transom and the HIN I know it had the later style transom and was built in the late 80's if I remember correctly.

You know, im not sure about that. It did great in virginia beach, rough water

DrGaryDC

Im positive that they are the same boat. My father did the engines for lester when he bought it as red cloud

Pretty sure the boat belonged to Dan Lanza. I thought the family had sold all three after he died?

I was in Key West with Lester when he took delivery of Red cloud, Matter of fact almost didn't allow him to race, class D only could have 1100 cu in total. that boat was delivered with 1144 in.
