Yes. D'Elia had a 30' Shadow, 30' Chris, 21' Superboat, 24' Skater & 35' Jag.....I don't know what they had before that.

hey Ryan

Wasn't there only 2 Systems cougars? I could be wrong, i thought i remember a red one...

Ryan Beckley 10-21-2008 01:28 PM

I believe there was the first open cockpit boat, then second canopy boat, then 3rd canopy boat. the 1st and 2nd boats may have been one though.

chewiekw 10-21-2008 01:31 PM

yeah the first two were the same, they just added the canopy. Then they had the bat boat which was also named Gentry. I do remember a red systems boat i will look for the picture that was a cougar and had a single center canopy. where the driver and throttleman sat behind one another. i will look for it tonight.

The red one was Tekne Lambo, Ragazzi bought it and Kaiser/Curtis ran it in KW one year. It is actually right near me here in Florida. It has sat in a building for 10 years collecting dust.

What happened to Bob why did he stop racing? We should start a thread titled "Where are they now"

bill63 10-21-2008 03:46 PM

Bob is alive and well living in grosse pointe michigan he was 2 kids and is divorced. I know he often conplains about a sore back from all his years of racing.
