Atami Ocean Cup '87
 

Many of the boats look very familiar - many from the US -

Among the many outstanding former Maggie's MerCruiser Special a superboat class Cougar cat version of Morales - there as Bengal #222 for Kobayashi (Idoni was still there in 1987?) And former Cougar The Collection of Rodriguez and Stuteville in 1983 and then Seahawk and Team Seahawk of Micky Cutre in 1984 and then for Magluta and Willy Falcon - there as Team Kaze #333 - and then in 1988 for the French Marret as Divin.

This should be the beauty cat Cougar in playwood Arneson of Tony Garcia in 1982 and Michelob Light for Tom Gentry and Sammy James the following year.

And is that the former Apache cat WildCat of David Street and Harold Smith (but ran KW 1987) or a boat mate?

On this video alongside on youtube - check out Benihana at 30 seconds! Holy Moly!!!!!!!! These are great!!

Not the same boat I think. Must be an older boat. Wild Cat had other scoops and I have pics of it from '87, '88 and '93 in its original colours.

I had not noticed that these are two different boats! La Luna III and La Luna V.
In fact, La Luna V seems to be the ex Harvey & Crombie of Walter Ragazzi in 1984.
The boat was a copy of the Michelob Light of Garcia-Gentry and was built on wood in Italy by Lucini and powered with a couple of Lambo.
