I think also that Reporter was a 38'.
Maybe the tunnel extended in the transom brought it from 36' to 38'.

Re: tin boat problem...OLD COUGAR
 

The old bengal bay 38' was bought by a friend of mine at a customs auction. It now has twin T58 turbines in it.
There was a black 38 unrigged years ago that also went to auction. The boys who bought it had it on display at the key west race maybe 10years ago. I wonder if that was the same hull. It had no motors hatches at that time

Whats Bengal cat? The former Fayva Shoes 38'?
Or the tin 41' former Cougar,World Champion in 1987?

Re: tin boat problem...OLD COUGAR
 

Bengal Bay was one of the SeaHawk boats the bigger of the two I think.

Re: tin boat problem...OLD COUGAR
 

just spoke to Wayne today . . . .this Cougar has been converted to outboards. . . . what a waste. . . . i guess to each his own but i'll never understand it. apparently its getting 4 big Yammies on it. not sure what that is going to do for the ballance of the boat. we shall see

Re: tin boat problem...OLD COUGAR
 

So. What do you guys think the boat will top out at with quadruple outboards? I´ll go for around 80mph.

Re: tin boat problem...OLD COUGAR
 

i bet the boat wont go over 70, they are just plastering the out board brackets on, not even setting them at a certain height.............this will be a debockle, i will keep you guys posted.....

Re: tin boat problem...OLD COUGAR
 

the brackets are in place i will take some pics today.....................4 225 yamahahas...........i still cant believe it........

I seen the boat going south on I75 in Michigan today
It was rigged with outboard brackets and what looked too be inboard dieseles?? It also had one canopy on the starboard side.
Unfortunately I did not have my camera.
Wayne was rigging it to have outboards, I thought it may run 60MPH with outboards.
The bracketts were still mounted and what looked to be dieseles were installed??? Is Wayyne going to run outboards and diesel inboards??

I think this might be a good idea:evilb: .
I figure the boat might run almost 65MPH with inboard diesel and outboards, What an innovative idea:evilb: .
I am sure somebody hear must know what Wayne's plan is, I have not talked to him latey.
I am not sure that inboard and outboards are not the answer but this could be a very cool old school project.

Who knows whats up in Waynes world??
