Speedster in Miami
It's a great boat - having ridden in it in both the Atlantic and the Pacific now... I can tell you it lays down extremely flat and planes instantly.
Dan is a great guy and did wonders re-rigging an old Hustler of mine with Kamas... If only we could have staggered the motors as I think it makes a huge difference.

I'm really looking forward to being out when we can run her all the way and finish the prop testing.

Danny Mac is a great guy have done alot of work with him and for him over the years.....The boat is derived from a Cougar but has been extensively modified and only bears some similar lines other than that it is a totally different animal.....

Dan MacNamara is a very knowledgeable person, and knows how to set a boat up. He did the original rigging on our boat, and did an impeccable job irregardless of the fact that he had that Sean guy there at the time!

Correct. I talked to him a lot about this boat. Started as the 32 cougar and according to Dan the boat wasn't quite right. They converted it tp the twin stagg Bravo boat and have been reworking the bottom extensively. I think the one shown is the orig. boat, but has complete new molds. He said the boat turned out really well so much so that Cougar want to buy it back. He said sure...after we spent the $ and made it right. Best secret out there IMO.
