Default Active Cats

Are any of the old Active cats still around ( Benihana, Wolverine, etc. )?

Now I know I'm old, I grew up down the street from the Active Marine factory and remember seeing all those CLASSIC race boats hanging in the hoist when they were new.

Can anyone tell me what these brackets were, located around the location of the motors?? Some kind of strengthening maybe?? I never noticed them before, but these shots are from the AJ ROberts Active cat and the Blue Max Active. Did they all have these??
