Built winter 1976 for John Clark by Eric Dender, Herbie Moore, Sked for Moorecraft in Atlantic Highlands New Jersey.
Tom Donelly purchased her in 1978 and renamed her UFO JS-39 and raced her.  It was Tom’s 4th and favorite skiff. She was sold to two brothers in Michigan and was outfitted with a NASCAR 358 with a dry sump system.  She ran over 90 MPH in a Kilo run. 
Years later she was sold to Paulie Spurnell of Fair Haven NJ.  She sat in Paulie’s yard for a few years and never ran before she was purchased by Eric Dender who originally built her.  Eric renamed her back to JS-29 Fastbuck and painted her deck.  It was rumored that John Clark spent quite a bit of money having her built thus the name Fast Buck. 
In 2007 Matt Santomenna, who was raised on the Jersey Shore and watched the Jersey Speed Skiffs race at Marine park in Red Bank NJ spotted her for sale on Speedskiffs.com.   Matt and his good friend Reid Pinkham with the egging on of best friend John Morrow decided to purchase this fantastic vintage race boat and bring her to Race City USA (Mooresville NC).  We have had such a great time with this one of kind inboard racing machine.  All of us are avid Correct Craft Nautique fans but now we have stretched our boundaries to include Jersey Speed Skiffs.  After having many exciting rides in Fast Buck at over 70 mph.   She thru a rod in her vintage Chevy 283 and ended up being towed in by a vintage Correct Craft Mustang with Ford power.  Reid, our resident Ford fan, just smiled with the news said "I was just glad she ran".  
        This gave all three of us the opportunity to dust off our professional boating experience and start restoring her.  Matt being a Marine Mechanic in NJ, working for Pleasurecraft Marine Engines and Malibu Boats in his younger years got very excited about the project and dug much deeper than both Reid and John expected.   Fast Buck had a pretty good case of wood rot and delaminated fiberglass so surgery was inevitable.   What started out as a blown engine and a 1 foot square foot of soft floor ended up being a floor and rear bulkhead replacement.  Here are some Photos for your enjoyment.
