I have pictures I could try to scan....
that boat was a 30 chris cat, black and silver. i was in that boat several times with ted mcintyre from M T T fame. with arwin and arfons and ted. i ran that boat several times with ted in sarasota

I'll have to dig out my pics of the boat and look again. I could have sworn they called it a Flight Cat. I had the opportunity to talk with one of the crew when they were at South Seas, he also said the boat was going to be or had run the Mississippi River Race that year, he mentioned Don Johnson was participating. Did that ever come to pass? Do you know what ever became of the boat?

4 BOATS KILLED :)
Don Johnson was with Wellcraft in those days. It was probably an Excalibur.

My bad. Yes, Johnson was running a Wellcraft, I meant to ask if the boat (the turbine one) ever saw the race and what the outcome was.
