Brad, The Cougar cat you are selling was made by cougar in miami, that particular boat was owend by Ross Perot. it's Kevlar (the first 30' kevlar they made) when built new it had counter rotating motors, I'll tell you he spared NO Expense when that boat was built, Dupont was there for the layup, he had his own riggers there to supervise the rigging. thats was a hell of a boat back then.

Thanks for that full reply `h20boater`.As `Black Tornado` knows,when an owner has several boats of the same name and look it can become a bit of a brain teaser.

I know what you mean, Red would have a new name on his cat at almost every race. The sign painters loved him.

Pete Huber (Hubner?) was the black haired big guy that rode in the boat also. Ted Tolmans twins had the sister ship to Dannys 32 wood cat. It was painted yellow and sponsered by some shirt co. they raced class 2 in europe, the boat was rigged and painted in Miami.

The 2 aluminum 46' V's where built in Miami, the Alumium cats where built in England. Then they made the glass 46's in Miami as well as the 30' cat (non race boat) only about 6 of them(30' cats) built while they where there. Tony Roberts made his own mold for the 46' V bottom from a boat cougar left when they moved. Cougar took their molds with them.

I'm sure that someone has posted pics of this but I couldn't find them, I took these yesterday while trying to avoid LA traffic. In a boatyard b/t venice beach and LAX. just HAD to stop, you don't see classic raceboats like this in MO very often.

Pretty sad, considering it's only 20-25 years old?
