Default Flight Marine/Stalker cat

Anyone have any pics of the Flight Marine/Stalker cats? Any old magazine ads? I thought someone on here had an old ad for Flight Marine/Stalker. I think it was the boat the two men were killed in. Any old race photos or whatever?

Bob Sheer (wideawake on here) Raced one called sheer terror. There was an incedent where two guys where killed but it wasn't a race thing, they where going up the intercoastal at night and ran up the back of a flybridge cruiser. it was a bad freakin thing....

Did Sheer Terror switch to Arnesons at one pont? I seem to remember it having a pair.

Bob said once he switched to Arnesons drives Sheer Terror came alive & won the National Championship... When the cat was later sold the new owner put Merc's back on her & it never ran well again.

Bob called a few months ago and said the same thing.

We had one at Popeye's that was a race and Al's personal pleasure boat with a wing across the transom. We tried setting a U.I.M. kilo record with it once and I tested it on Lake X at 132 MPH. Boy did that lake get short when running at those speeds.
