01-19-2009 08:23 PMThe photo shows the famous team of Bobby & Jack.
Bobby & Jack's was the best rigging shop in the sport. Jack came from California and introduced new things in the rigging business like anodizing of parts in the engine room. His big talent was drivng SK and Enduro boats. He was the named driver of Mike Gordon's Fish Peddler Rayson Craft for many years. The lifejacket he is wearing here is the jacket he wore in the SK boats.
What else can be said about Bobby Moore? The first throttleman in the sport, the first of many innovations in rigging. He won more world championships for his drivers with all kinds of boats, Deep Vees, Cats, Aluminum, etc.
Funny about the date on the PR release....May 78. That was the month they rolled that 38 Scarab just under the St Petersburg Bridge. Jack broke his arm, Billy Martin was runnng right behind them and swung by to make sure everyone was out and then took off again.
Tough racers. Joey just passed away last year from cancer. RIPLight travels faster than sound....that is why some people appear bright until we hear them speak!!

Billy Martin's Hustler,
I believe Roger said this was a 23 or 24 Donzi. Correct me If I'm wrong!

01-20-2009 02:51 PMI think the 26' Hustler was Charlie Dore's originally. I also think that Billy sold the red Cig to Paul Clauser to become Li'l Satisgfaction.

01-20-2009 03:49 PMSpeaking of the Cigarette 28, don't ever let anyone tell you it's not an exceptionally capable rough-water boat.
With none other than the legendary Bobby Saccenti on board.

And thus the 27 Sport was conceived.
Billy Martin's Hustler II with Roger Munn at the throttles.
