Hi Phil,
I was going for:
Evil Ways M-144, Maltese Magnum with Bill Elswick
Magic Gems M-999, a 30' Stuphen
Molsen Indy 66, a Cigarette with Lorne Libel and John Tomlison
Surgin 70, a Cougar Cat with Doc Spergel
I just spoke to Bob last week. Kathy and Bob always speak very highly of you. I know she even did some voice over work for NNRT. You once told me that offshore racing just as much an exhibition as it was a sport, but what an exhibition it was!
Sincerely,
John

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 !

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.

32' Cobra
Paul Palmentera in Cleveland currently owns
"Blade Runner" which in fact is "Gold Rush".
The next possibility would be "Renegade" ! Another Cobra
to consider. Originally throttled by the " Magic Throttle Arm"
prior to his Apache fame.............................................. .

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?
