Is it a cougar?

Re: apache 47 ?
 

Look closer, I remember a while back somebody made mention of some aluminum copy's of the Apache's.

It does carry some similarities of a cougar.
But it does have Apache painted across the back side also.

Windscreen is also wrong for a cougar.

I believe this is a Michel Peters design?

Stirling said in a thread on Boatmad or OSO (unfortunately I can' find it) that it is one of two built in the Netherlands. Impressive boat. The pics below are from that thread:

From the top pic in Post 9 it looks like an Apache deck (design) on a Bertram hull (design).

LOOKS very solid inside.
But have to agree with ryan ,,,the hull looks like a Bertram and the deck is to round to be Apache ???!!!

If I remember it correctly stirling said that there was no connection whatsoever to Apache, they just put the logo on it.

The boat has been sold a few years ago to Zeeland (Holland ) before ,my brother in law owns it for some time .
Power is 3 x 502 MPI with Bravo 1 drives ,the other boat looks very much like this one ,apart from a few things that are different ,the other was completely white ,and the transom was drilled for 3 x # 6 SSM and Rolls Royce turbines ,but could also been 2 x #6 SSM,don,t remember exactly.
the white one was partly rigged under the deck,I don,t know what happened with the white one ,it use to sit in a city called Muiden for many years ,but dissapeared a few years ago.

I know that back in the eighties Apache and Cougar were in collaboration on some projects and that Erics Reality was originally Ben Kramers boat but I dont think the boat above was part of this deal

The other Kramer boat was Ike Batistas Spirit of the Amazon. I talk with Tom and Gail 3 times a day as they are working on my pals engine box layout. Cant wait.

El, where there 3 yellow 41s that kramer used?
was the predetor boat once a back up boat?
C

you might be right. i remember 2 41s and the 1 from the morales run to ny.. but my theory is one good boat with proper maintainance and operation is all you need.

yeah yeah yeah, i think the indian head one went on to become firewater with oliver behind it. I sold star chaser to Eric in NY who is murdering everyone with injecteds and pred is near NY now. wheres firewater...? crap maybe now there are 4. Old Ben was sneaky sneaky...you still have your sled? i hope u didnt sell it to some punk kid with an addiction...
some car sales men told me you had it listed...say it aint so...?!?!

it aint so.
