Red has now confirmed this to be true.

Cougars were built in England correct? Are Cougars built in Miami the same company?

Some of the Cougar Glass Vees were built in Miami I think. The Aluminum boats came from England. The wood cats were from the Phillipeans.

Sorry h2oboater,but has Red confirmed both that Chrysler Laser was the repaired Benihana and that the Express was the Vento's Panasonic?

To remove or to add mud to the Actives saga there was a second Flap Jack Active 37'. This one below?

the express was later named panasonic

Red confirmed that his Chrysler Laser was the repaired Benihana. Red powered her with two Chrysler 426 Hemi's, and they ran well. I believe Butch said his Express became the Panasonic. I Will ask Red about the Flap Jack.

butch what ever happin to your boat after panasonic.

I am selling a Cougar fiberglass cat that was made in Miami. Is this the same company that made the race boats being discussed here?

If Benihana crashed in 82 and became Chrysler,it seems odd that Quam in 83 had Flapjack painted as his boat in 82 before lettiing Aoki have it.See pic in Lee County Regatta 83.
Marco`s pic is the red Flapjack which also raced as Thundercat in west coast races,which I have taken as being his only active boat,or did Quam have 3 active boats?????
Or was it Quam-Aoki-Quam-Kaiser-Crain etc.
Answers on a postcard or maybe an AO sheet at this rate.

Yes Brad, that's the same company. Where did you find that boat?
