Yeah, Skip wrote a book, but he neglected to mention that Jeff Fay was the captain for most of the time Jerry owned the Hooker and Madam, before that Jeff ran Jerry's 60C all over the Carribean and Pacific, and his 53c before that.Skip Smith was the Capt for Jerry Dunaway, wrote a book of their adventures and....
Jeff owns Humdinger, a 37' Rybovich based in Kona, that planes in reverse. I fish tournaments with him often, and have been doing so for 25-ish years.

Re: Thank you HOF but you couldn’t save her!
Yes, I would, if you can direct me to it. I don't even fish, myself, I am just interested in anything that does it's job that well. And evidently G&S boats are REALLY good at what they do.

Re: Thank you HOF but you couldn’t save her!
G&S has a storied history for sure. Look up the 'HOOKER' and the 'MADAM'. I think there is actually a book on that operation, I've read countless articles/stories about it. At one time I think a G&S boat held just about every line class record for marlin in the book.
The company went up for sale recently, not sure if there were any takers. It's a pretty specific, and small market. Their boats back down like no other, actually they can plane in reverse, it's crazy to see in person. They can chase down a fish like no other.SOUTHPAWS

Ive heard that Outrageous was sold for 20k. I think she will be used as a vacation home and some parts of her might be sold.
