    Hi All, I'm in England at the moment, last time I went to Fla was in October 09, does any one have any information on the Monkey Business? She was an 83' Broward with 2 fishing chairs and and nice turn of speed. Not uncomfortable to be aboard at all...Took her up to Nantucket via the intracoastal in April 80 and had a great summer.
    Used to be owned back in the late 70's and early 80's by a nice guy from Miami called Don Soffer. I ran her for a short while at the end of 1980 and wondered if anyone had seen her or heard news of her since I was there?:)

    Is this the same Monkey Business that was at Turnberry in Miami in the late 1980's?
    The GARY HART Monkey Business?

    ;)

    Thanks, but that doesn't sound like an 83' Broward...Unless she's had 18' removed.:confused:

    83' Broward anybody? :rolleyes:

    She was in Marathon FL about around 1994 at Faro Blanco resort with a for sale sign on her. She had been pretty well trashed at that time.

    I just realised, I'm asking for information that's at LEAST 30 years old…
    Gotta quit now, before I go completely off the rails.
