Saw an old race boat yesterday (Lethal Weapon)
 

It was headed north bound on Grosebeck , on the back of a lowboy semi trailer.

It looked like a 30-33 foot cat.

LETHAL WEAPON THE OLD RACE BOAT WAS A V BOTTOM APACHE COLOR WAS RED

And it's coming to ME!!!!!! :D :D :D :D

Guess that's why he didn't arrive today:p

Coming to a poker run near you in the Spring of 2003:cool:

I'm just telling what I saw :)

I'm just assuming it was an old race boat because it had "Lethal Weapon " in 3 foot letter across the side. :)

Actually this one is a 28 Cougar Cat used to run the Silver Cup Series with triple outboards-But I don't think it was called Lethal Weapon at that time. It may have been black back then.

Looks like this:

That's it !
I think Sparky from this board used to own it.

YUP, that's who I bought it from-Great Guy!

Hey Ted;
You mean US :D :D :D

Sounds familiar Ted, go from a mini-boat cat to a 28 cat and me a mini vee to a 28 vee. :D :D :D Good Luck with it!;)

Cool boat Ted, I have seen it at Sparky's many times. Good luck with the new toy! :D

i'll take credit for scanning the photos of the Cougar!!!
:D

OSO Power
 

It's pretty incedible how anywhere in this country a person can be driving down the road and someone here on the board can describe the boat he/she saw and in no time it is identified who owns/owned it and what the story is behind it!! It just proves how many members there are here and how it is growing more all the time. The POWER OF OSO and it's members are shown daily!! :D ;) :cool:

Very Cool. The Power of OSO!
:cool:

I was pretty amazed to see a post about the boat when I saw it. It is pretty amazing how big the reach of OSO is and how small the performance boat world is:)

Thanks for the pics BoatChic they were helpful in making the decision.

Hey Sharkey-you got any big outboards lying around???:D :cool: A couple like the ones on the back of the Check would be fine:D
And I don't need a capacity plate for this cat:D

Apparently it was delayed in MI so we won't see it here till Friday-guess we'll have to use the other boats this weekend;)

Scott-I do mean US, just keep that checkbook limber:D :D :D
Got gas???

:D :D :D

Luvoffshore that’s pretty amazing! Our eyes are everywhere!

Best Regards:)

Steve, you seem to have built many of the cats in the past 30 years-did you work on Cougars too??:)

I knew I've seen it before. Several weeks ago we drove by it heading to Tin Fish from Sunsation at the OSO gathering

Damn, this boat gets around:D

cool cat:) keep us posted on the progress.

We will keep regular updates as we make progress (it's going to be a year long project). 2003 poker runs here we come!:p :D

Ted & Scott, Put a set of 300 Max's on it!!!

hey . .i saw that too . . i was up there one night last week picking up an interior from ocean express. we stoped at offshores to grab some dinner, it was sitting out front an i snaped a pic of it. interesting boat you dont see everyday. :cool:

sparky- did you still need help on the graphics on the outer limits? sorry i was not able to stop an look at it.we were waiting for the interior to be done and just got it back this week. we did get detoured by your new place thursday night because of an accedent on 29. looks good, hope to stop in some day when you are there. by the way i talked to a guy named dick at offshores, he said the 27 sport mag out front is one of yours. is it avalible. thanks

GOOD LUCK with it,i was looking at it also,but to far from me for the deal so i passed,be nice with a 598,speedy,big scoop,but outboards just bolt on have fun tripps

1983 Race Pic, 28' Cougar

Anyways was curious if it stayed small block surface drive set up or if it went back to out boards?

Thanks
Jon

Damn I'm getting old. I will tell Sparky about this thread this afternoon if he is in town.

Sounds good, thank you Sir!
