You are right about Kathy doing work for us - she did Many races in this country - Including the 1989 Battle on the Seas from Key West - and others in Michigan too - Also the 1986 UIM event in Auckland, New Zealand, as well at Gurensey UIM Championship in 1988 - and Cowes Torquay Cowes as well - I am sure she could relate many many stories - She should write a book - named - "Steering Straight in a Crooked Sport" or as has been said - "this exibition of ego, which as turned into a Wallet Check"

whoops - dont wind me up ! was just getting started !

No, No, Please Continue. Those are some FITTING TITLES.

Back in the 90's a 32' boat by the name of Parranda was raced in PR, I think it was orange color of red. It was the painted blue, and raced under the name of Wrangler. Someone once mentioned that the boat used to be the Man o War boat.

Boat is called "OBSESSION" 2, Owned at 1 time by Harry Turner. Starting to find out some info. But need to know if this Cobra is, MAN O WAR, NIGHT WING", " GOLD RUSH", etc.

The next possibility would be "Renegade" ! Another Cobra
to consider. Originally throttled by the " Magic Throttle Arm"
prior to his Apache fame.............................................. .

Bad ass boats no dought.... i have ridden a couple of Cobras and a bunch of Powerplay as that's one of my fav v bottoms. But was there a specific reason why the deck of the 32 cobra looked the way it did

Jr

Bob S. rigged the boat at Race HQ but I dont think he ever throttled it. Rick Smith(owner) throttled, Roger Munn drove and Jay Busigleo navigated... then Ed Martinez joined the team to replace Roger.

Ex OPBRA(and my) Vice President Bob Filipino was the crew chief.

32-Cobra
 

I did find some outlines of "Skulls", underneath back cleats. I went under the deck to see if any marking's, but no luck. Does anyone know how many Cobra's are still around?

Was the Cobra and the Coyote related?
