James Beard designed the first active cat for Ross and Bud. I beleive not to long after that he passed of cancer, also I was told he was the founder of cougar.

hey rossi for the audiance how many 33 and 37 actives were ever built.

That is a great question Bill, AKA (PUSH-IT) But big daddy would be the only one that could answer that one.

The aluminum cat Chairman of the Board, was renamed and also ran under Turkish Express.

I know of 6, 33' Actives, Trust ME, M-588 Couger, Blue Max, Miss Gallo, Pete Smiths pleasure Wolverine that I bought from him, and I believe there was one more red & white one that Rich Anderson or Don Nell's had. The black Trust Me is now Gangsta Style, The Max now with the beeks off, and the white & teal one I had. I helped put a pleasure deck on Bob Kehrig's M-588 but he sold it some time ago. Where are the others ?????????

hey mark give us a stab on the number of 37's

well you know ross, apparently they were a beard copy or design , which ever i don't know. most of the early ones had a cougar logo somewhere . mine was across the top of the deck.

Chrysler ex -Wolverine no so.I know,I know Marco.The result data on Boatmad is so out of date.In actual fact trawling through the old Active thread gives more questions than answers.In summary this is my latest listing.

Wolverine to Bud Light to Mr.Roberts.

Flapjack to Benihana to Flapjack

Hublot

Chrysler Laser to GK Systems to Daddy Cool II to Celutel to Proirity One

Panasonic

C & G Quicksilver

Blue Max

The above 6 boats were OPI/SB and I know there were others in the lower classes.


Clear as mud for you Marco.

hey ff

i believe after benihana crashed it was sent to the factory and repaired and became crysler laser that boat ended up being i believe warcray in the end.(i could be wrong)
express= panasonic

As far as the 37' Actives I will talk to the Apotle of speed Red Crain, before we have beverages. After the Key West worlds last week I heard Red reminded Steve Curtis about how he blew the tunnel out of the Mr Roberts at the 1985 Grand Haven Race, and beached her.
