I Love those Old Active Cats they were the Shizzel back in the day !

They were the first of the big cat's to be made of fiberglass & kevlar and resin. Our black 33' Active,,[ Cougar ] work well for being the first one built. Gary Steuwe [ Nasty ]was the first to race her in the worlds in Keywest 1981. After Bob Kehrig retired her from racing in 1985 we put a new deck on, and it became Bob's pleasure boat for many years, till she finally was retired around 1995.

I used to work for Ross from 91 till 97and still work on Bob 's stuff, I worked on the old race boat with retro fitted pleasure deck for Bob a couple of times fixing rotted out fittings and poped bondo before he sold it down in florida.
I also repaired a 32' Active which was Bud's pleasure cat that Terry mullin's sold to a guy on the other side of the state ( Troy Estes ) Tunnel came out from the Drivers bulk head to the transom, It was the first big job when I left express to go on my own.

29 Mirage it was. Brain trust around here thinks it was originally Belmont Steaks. Later owned by Lee Bomar & then Darrel Lee after that as L'il Abner. Last seen at Miller Marina rack storage with race numbers & graphics still on..............

Yes Rob and I used alot of bondo, and when John Avery and I rigged her we used alot of spare parts. Bob loved that boat it wasn't fast but she was a classic.

Robby stop s bye my shop to bust my nuts every once in a while and John stops buy or calls wanting a price on a cat hull and deck or just to see whats going on.
Seems like we have bolth ran in the same circles.
