Oops... Just went back and looked at the email from Randy... It wasn't $50k.
"I have attached additional photos of the Cougar. The boat had a pair

I believe that was the Maxon built boat. It's a shame that it's sat out side with no cover.....looks like the interior is now shot....where did the motor, drives, & trailer go???
I thought they only made 2 of the aluminum 46's One for morales (tripple big blocks) and one for Toleman (tripple small blocks). tolemans is the one Smitty and Chris Hodges Crashed into the sea wall, it was repaired and sold to someone overseas, but I'd bet that this is that boat. I don't know of a third.. Brownie???????

(I was actually referring to the Cig when I made the junk pile comment, but equally true for the Cougar.)
I talked to a guy who's got an old 38' Cougar Cat (brain fade on which one right now) sitting up on the Delta. He said when he started to stripped it he was looking at making several thousand bucks on the hull. Now he's lucky to get less than a grand for it. Its a shame that these great boats go out like this.
I think the boat up in Sacramento may have been the old Budwieser / Copier Cat (but only about 75% on that recollection). The guy told me that if I'd called him a year ago, I could have had the whole shebang, less power for $25k. He was a good guy. He got the boat on a trade with a boat he got from a mechanic's lien without power but otherwise read to run.
There's a few of these boats that ultimately ended up at the right price, but at the wrong time and it's a real shame...
