Cougar Cat 40 w Turbines for sale what's the story

[PJC]

But that isn't a 48 foot!
Compare at pic 3 above....

woops should have said 41'

 

[Dude! Sweet!]

I'm so used to seeing them with canopies... Looks odd to me. Reminds me of a pre-war fighter plane! Thanks PJC. It's nice to have guys who actually know what there talking about on here (unlike me!).

So why did Seahawk build two 41 foot boats a year apart? Could the 4th boat and 3rd be the same one?

Problem is me not reading what I have typed, following is correct

Boat 1 Originally raced as the Collection, purchase by the Seahawk team when they moved into Class 1, this boat was 38'
Boat 2 Built for the Seahawk team this boat was 36' went to Europe in 1988
Boat 3 Built for the Seahawk team this boat was 41' this is the boat that won the 1987 worlds as Cougar
Boat 4 Built for the Seahawk team this boat was 38', never raced as Seahawk but did race as Bengal Bay Club, This is the turbine boat

Before the Turbines was this a Race Boat??? If so I'd guess Steve Curtis's World Champ (with Nikki C, Boardwalk?) anybody know?????

I don't know why you think Nick Cutro ran in this boat..... Stevie won the WC with Justo Jay of the Sea Hawk team in the boat with him. I think AJ Roberts was involved with that boat as well.

I don't know why, but one small portion of the very back side/bottom of my Brain thought Nikki and Steve Got together once. Who else was in this Boat with Steve and Justo? Pete Currington? (I thought it was Nick, IDK why) I'm sure If AJ was in the boat he would have been the driver of record, but I think in this case Steve was.

The third in that 41' at KW 1987 was Orlando Lorenzo.

That boat is not even a 38.'
But then Ok that Magluta had money to throw but that sense had build a practically twin boat to the old 38?'
If he wanted it lighter was enough modifying the deck of that already existing......as Kobayashi probably made to the new-acquired 41' of Curtis.

AJ Had nothing to do with this boat

 

[Rik]

If you want, I'll just call Chip and find out the details of the boats past history.

Did he own Cougar of North America at that time?

 

[Black Tornado]

Now perhaps we succeeds in understanding better that it is the same 41.'

AJ Roberts and Dick Fullam were going to be Cougars agents in America, after Dick died in Key West 85 it all went wrong and all AJ did was screw us and splashed a mould from a clients boat that was in the yard.

But Rik... that would be too easy! :sifone:

Na you are wrong, one picture is the 41’ and the second is the 38’, both boats raced as Bengal Bay Club at some time

If you look at the cockpit fairing on the 38' you will see it is the same as the pictures of the turbine boat and the gunwale edge is cut at an angle

If you look at the 41 you will see that the cockpit fairing is different and the gunwale is not cut at an angle

Also I looked at the build log and the line drawing for this boat which confirm it was 38’

 

[Dude! Sweet!]

What does the future hold for a boat like this or the alloy 46 at National Liquidators? Are there real buyers out there for these boats or are they headed for a slow death in a field or a quick death at a scrapper? Didn't it take a give away price and a year or two to sell Endagered Species?

 

[Rik]

Boat was Blue when he purchased it and it was raced as "KS&W" before it was confiscated by the US Gov from which Chip purchased it with US Coast Guard painted on it.

 

[chewiekw]

So it wasn't called SeaHawk? Do you have any pictures of it racing under KS&W and who raced it?

 

[FastDonzi]

Who Is Chip????

Thanks for the clarification. At that time AJ was portraying himself as Cougar of North America's owner.
