Does anyone know where the Cougar cat American Thunder is? It used to be up in Winthrop, MA but last heard it was in FLA, owned by Eric Jackson. Would like to see pics and or hear of where its been? thanks: Matt

It is still in a wearhouse next to mine in Bradenton, Fl. It hasn't moved in a few years. It is sitting on a tilt railer. It has no motors in it, they are 1200 Eickerts sitting next to it on the floor as long blocks. Eric has JACKSON HARWARE in Palmetto Fl. He talks about racing it sometimes but I doubt it will happen.

Hey Ryan: any chance of getting some pics of it? If I remember right it is a former Budweiser boat. Eric used to have the boat up here in Winthrop on the tilt trailer, that thing would stop traffic. Eric has had some cool boats, he had a 27' Magnum years ago called "Damn Magnum" that had headers coming up and over the transom, you could hear the boat all over town when he was going out. If you could post some pics of the Cougar that would be great...thanks: Matt
