Welcome to Boatmad.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but I thought "Bounty Hunter" was a 35' and not a 36'. It has the flared sides of the 35'/37' and not the slab sides of the 36'.
I remember watching Bounty Hunter in the CTC many years ago.

Some question about the Hustlers.
-Your father made him debut in offshore races in 1968 with a Formula 23’ single engine named Hustler like the picture that you have posted above show?


-In 1970 or in 1969,your father competed in a Magnum 27’ with a tandem sites cockpit and single engine named Hustler II(maybe the former Maltese Magnum 27’ of Don Aronow in 1967)?


-In 1971 appeared the Hustler IV a Magnum 33’ with double engines,but there aren’t news about an Hustler III.
-In 1972 appeared Hustler III as a Magnum 27’single engine. It’s right?
-In the same 1972 there were two Magnum 33’,Hustler IV competing in OPI and Hustler V competing in OPII. It’s right?
The two 33’ were very similar but with two different decks. Wasn’t the same boat with modified deck in a second time?

Hey Graham,

There were 7 Bounty Hunters in all. There were 35' 36' 39' 40's The One we have now 36' Does have flared sides but was a custom built boat for my father from Don. There is only one that looks the way ours does, to my knowledge.

Aaron, I Stand Corrected, the 27' Magnum was Aronows Old Boat, Although Dad is thinking back and is not sure if it was the Maltese Magnum. He's Gonna make a call to make sure of facts lol

Thanks Billy.......I was thinking it was this boat that Don raced in '68....?

I am assuming this has to be one of the first 27 Magnums (Sport)?.......if not the first?

Which "Bounty Hunter" is it in your avatar? I ask because my dad has some 12th scale moulds for cigarettes. The 40' you raced, was it flared or slab sided? I know the early 40's were slab sided and the later 38's and 39's were flare sided. Some Pics would be good.
Cheers,
Graham.
