I bet that dash set him back at least several hundred bucks!

Now I'm going to have to eat my words about the old, dated Cougar 46. That engine hatch really changed the boat.

impressive...are they really that fast? 3 x 1075's I understand it could be fast, but generally speaking? I thought they were made for rough stuff instead of speed...

Mine had 3 850's and would nudge 80 with light fuel and a slight chop. Poor choice for a lake boat- excellent choice if the water you boat on gets sloppy. You can run full speed in 4's and 5's and never have to touch the throttles.

George Morales did quite well in one against Copelan's Popeyes. So well that Al used the 46 for the Miami-NY race. Until the 47 Apache the Cougar was king.
