There was another Popeye's super boat with a big tail fin and a narrow enclosed cockpit...not the Goetz... I believe Al never ran it as he was retiring..and instead it went directly to Japan where it competed in the Atami cup...but carried the Popeye's name and colors.
Brownie?.

Not sure how many 'Heavy Metal's there were, but this was a CUV - you can make out the CUV logo behind the cockpit area.

Going back to the very first post in the thread
Class III Wood. The Specialist was a revamp of an earlier boat that was tandum & a bit ......... ohhh errrrrrr
From what I recall it was rebuilt change to the tunnel & moved to side by side seating also reducing the picklefork.
PJC would know I'm sure Graham or Littlenige are a couple of bloodhounds.
"Catwezel" rings a bell, maybe but heck it's 35 years ago !!!

Blu Fin`s Comments
Cockpit re-vamp as per your observations,but I`m not so sure about the tunnel change.The Specialist and its previous name Catastrophe II had pickleforks.Sure your not getting mixed up with Catastrophe 1 (1975) ex-Andycat (1974).
Catweazle was ex-circuit boat Miss Cougar which Earl of Normanton rolled in 1970 Paris 6hr and did his back in.
See next post.
