Re: Cougar England/Brownie
Dunno to be honest, Mark Pascoe told me the other day that he'd had a call about, and that it was getting the gas turbine treament.
Last time I saw it was in Colin Stoneman's yard,, looking very sorry for itself

I looked at an old Cig 35 south of Philly several years back. Probably '01. The seller had an old 38' aluminum cat- ex race boat, blue w/Arnesons on it. He was pretty far along installing turbines in it. Used an old outboard for reverse- it was in a hole in the rear between the engines. IIRC, I believe the seller owned golf courses.

Chris I did the converison on that blue boat. It was the an old seahawk race boat. I will try and post some pic when I can. We stretched the hull 2 feet and installed GE T58 turbines with a 70hp jet outboard

Hey Brownie:
Darren and I ran into Stevie Curtis over the weekend. He looks great and just received the M.B.E. (Member of the British Empire). He hasn't lost a beat...and he throttled Reliable to a strong win in Super Cat on Sunday.....
It wasn't a Cougar.......but it was a cat.

Jon its lethal menace that's getting the turbine treatment along with some serious hull mods and a full re-design of the cockpit.
The hull has had a centre pod fitted along with an ASD8 drop box and BPM stern tube.The drive is on, the engine is in just working on mounts and other time taking bits.
I might post a few spy shots soon!
