I could be mistaken but that looks like a Mistress or a flat deck to me?????

Looks like a 35 to me
Mark:cheers2:
That is a Kevlar 35 Mistress with the 1st custom race hatch Cigarette made to cover the Hawk 600's exhaust , Gary actually had another 35 that he had bought called " Jennifer Ann" it was a standard boat will stock 330's,He only had the boat in OC for the summer of 85, then bought this one.
I'll keep it short. I was in MR Ducks back in the late 80's Gary and I were talking and he was asking me about what I thought about repowering Jennys Express. (1st one) He had already knew what power he wanted to use. After talking to him about the results he wanted to get with the motors. I told him by the time the job was done he would be better off selling his Cigarette as is and ordering a new one with power he wanted. He was not aware at the time that the bigger motors would need differant drive height to get the results wanted and TRS's weren't going to cut it. When I ran into him the following summer he had
a new Cigarette and was very happy with its speed and thanked me for the avise. The way Gary and I first met, we were both running north on Ocean City shoreline and I came up along side and we went at it. I pulled him and he was very suprised how fast my old 27 Avanti ran.
As i said many times ..my dad & gary where best friends from teens and me and jenny grew up toghather. i got to ride in jennifer ann i was maby 8 or 9 then never got to ride in the J express cig then came the 41 apache and got to ride it 100 + times. as you read this it,s 2011 now i did see jenny for x-mas last week hangen out with friends & loved ones.
yesterday i must have gotten 10 phone calls on how we all miss Gary Brightwell . gone BUT NEVER FOGOTEN IN OUT MEMERIES, PICS ,AND VIDS. WE ALL LOVE YA GARY:driving:
It was along time ago could be the same boat, but I remember the boat I use to see said Dollar Bill or some thing like that down the sides. I know I have some pictures of the boats running along beach, but not sure where they are. If I come across them I'll post em
Clustergear, I remember your Avanti, and MR Ducks,One of my girlfriends was a bartender there. You may remember me, I had a Red and White 30 ft Scarab early 80's then in 86' made the jump to a 35' Cigarette White W Red/Gold/Black stripes.We would close the place down at 2am then jump in the boat for a "Ocean Run".I Ran with Doll-R-Bill as well during that time.His boat was Kevlar and had 460 Mercs.I could almost catch him with the Scarab (370's) on a calm day but when the ocean kicked up I was Done!To this Day I have scars on my RH knee where I got hurt in a Race with Bill.
Long time ago looked for pictures today. I know I have them somewhere all I could find beside family picutres in OC where my brothers sport fishing boat he kept at the Bahia Marina from around 83 to 95
Very Happy with Powerplay. My sister still has a place in OC maybe I'll bring it down there sometime.
Just found a picture of Jenny's Express.* Looks like I was on tower of my brothers boat heading north on bay from draw bridge.* Hope I can find more.I'am trying to resize but not having any luck
Resized pic. not working I can resize on my computer and you can see who's in boat, but can't get it to attach
