working on getting it ready. changed the oil and filters, etc. need to change out drive spacers based on the last time it ran. should have it in the water in the next several weeks as I just work on it on the weekend for a few hours here and there. it has been 8+ years so no reason to rush it. both the boats are for sale if the deal is right. the Cougar is all brand new from end to end. Spirit of the Amazon is just as it was raced back in the day.

hey Dan, it does still have twin turbo engines but not sure if they were ever altered from the gentry setup. I will be over there sunday and will look at it just to find out.

Mine had 3 850's and would nudge 80 with light fuel and a slight chop. Poor choice for a lake boat- excellent choice if the water you boat on gets sloppy. You can run full speed in 4's and 5's and never have to touch the throttles.
George Morales did quite well in one against Copelan's Popeyes. So well that Al used the 46 for the Miami-NY race. Until the 47 Apache the Cougar was king.

I never get tired of seeing this mope's lies.

these motors were rebuilt after he bought it and has had some up grades. to be more modern it should be up graded again to new electronics and fuel system but it works as is it just is not as friendly around the docks as it could be.

IF you need any help with them we have a really good setup on the Gentry motors in the 46 Scarab they idle perfect start every time. Does the boat still have the crash boxes in it ? We still have the crash boxes on the rear motors I was able to sneak a BAM trans on the forward motor. Regards Dan
