When the Cougar cats were made of wood
Thought I´d start a wooden cat thread! These were taken when I was involved in taking the old Arneson cat from the Cruise Master Marathon factory in Ft. Lauderdale to Marina del Rey in 84. Angelo Meli drove the truck. Great memories.

My involvement had finished by the time the team were trying the Bonner Jag turbeau motors - anyone know how many races the boat ran with those motors?

Good story Nigel!
Here when "your" cat was originally Trotta's Rampage in 1982 and Garcia's Arneson Special in Key West 1983 when Tony became World Champion in Open Class beating the "cats hunter" Della Valle.
