cougar cats

[Ryan Beckley]

Some of the Cougar Glass Vees were built in Miami I think. The Aluminum boats came from England. The wood cats were from the Phillipeans.

Sorry h2oboater,but has Red confirmed both that Chrysler Laser was the repaired Benihana and that the Express was the Vento's Panasonic?

To remove or to add mud to the Actives saga there was a second Flap Jack Active 37'. This one below?

the express was later named panasonic

Red confirmed that his Chrysler Laser was the repaired Benihana. Red powered her with two Chrysler 426 Hemi's, and they ran well. I believe Butch said his Express became the Panasonic. I Will ask Red about the Flap Jack.

I am selling a Cougar fiberglass cat that was made in Miami. Is this the same company that made the race boats being discussed here?

If Benihana crashed in 82 and became Chrysler,it seems odd that Quam in 83 had Flapjack painted as his boat in 82 before lettiing Aoki have it.See pic in Lee County Regatta 83.
Marco`s pic is the red Flapjack which also raced as Thundercat in west coast races,which I have taken as being his only active boat,or did Quam have 3 active boats?????
Or was it Quam-Aoki-Quam-Kaiser-Crain etc.
Answers on a postcard or maybe an AO sheet at this rate.

In 1982 Quam had a new Active cat built, and raced it as Flap Jack before July 1982. By July Rocky became the driver & Quam the throttled. They won the July 14 1982 Benihana race in Quams renamed [BENIHANA] Active cat. They crashed this Benihana in the Sept 1982 Kiekhaefer race. Active took this cat back for repair and sold it to Red Crain. Quam got a new Active cat for the 1983 race season that was named Flap Jack, and maybe Thunder Cat ? Quam would not win with this Active cat [Flap Jack] untill the 1985 Cape Coral race. Red raced his Chrysler Laser Active cat with Bob Kaiser in the 1983 season. Red would rent, & race this cat under many names over the years. Hope this clears up how there were two Flap Jacks Active cats that I know of.
