They spend time at my neighbors in East Marion, LI. One of my favorite looking V's!!

In a uniform they look nice as well. Please note the hull Steve is testing in the second pic is a TS!?

How's your boat run out? What power is in it?

Last gentleman that had it didn't seem to really want to sell it but if memory serve's me his wife had some back problems .

Once you go to the 41' the boat has softer lines than any of the other models. Plus it's a Staggered which is easier to squeeze into the 41'.

When Big Thunder was brokeraging the boat it could be bought for $75,000 and I tried to trade mine and get into that one. The actual owner wanted out of boating from what Big Thunder told me. Big Thunder had already had it for a few years at that point.

Somewhere along the line Big Thunder ended up being the owner's and the power was freshend. Cockpit interior needed an update. Other than that I love the Staggered set-up and #6's. Big Thunder raised the price to mid 80's after the power was gone through.

Nice to see it active again

How fast do you think it is with those twin 1000 HP and the wet sumps ?
And how smoth is the ride handling wise in a cougar ?

Should ride like a dream and handle like it's on rails with the #6's and low CG's of the staggered.

If anything Cougar's were built better than most anything we had of that era. True craftsman and they didn't have all the regulations etc. so they were using epoxy's etc. prior to us.

My boat is an 1986 and rock solid, any boat can have issue's it's all about how they are taken care of.

There is one 46´ in Sweden, beeing rerigged with trip Merc 1200SCI and SSM VI.
