History:  (The following information is a result of an interview with Tom Donley Jr. and Jeanine Swift on October 20, 2002.)

This was my third Jersey Speed Skiff.  This one had a navy blue hull with a white deck, with high side steering.  It was purchased from Slim Blaney in Ft. Lauderdale.  To the best of my knowledge, Slim did limited racing with the boat before I bought it.  Since there was no name on the boat, I had no choice but to call it..."UFO".

In 1978, I sold this boat to Jack Leimbach in Annapolis.  Jack did not change anything, not even the name, and enjoyed it as a river boat.

When Jack was finished with the boat, he sold it to Doug Apy who transformed her into the replica of 'Jo-Carol Too' JS-1, as we know it today.
