Beast??? You sound like my college buddy talking about his Subaru!

If Larry Smith is involved it will be a great product. Im thinking 650hp Small BLocks

Default Speedster in Miami

It's a great boat - having ridden in it in both the Atlantic and the Pacific now... I can tell you it lays down extremely flat and planes instantly.

Dan is a great guy and did wonders re-rigging an old Hustler of mine with Kamas... If only we could have staggered the motors as I think it makes a huge difference.

More details on the website:

I'm really looking forward to being out when we can run her all the way and finish the prop testing.

Danny Mac is a great guy have done alot of work with him and for him over the years.....The boat is derived from a Cougar but has been extensively modified and only bears some similar lines other than that it is a totally different animal.....

Dan MacNamara is a very knowledgeable person, and knows how to set a boat up. He did the original rigging on our boat, and did an impeccable job irregardless of the fact that he had that Sean guy there at the time!

HOW can this be derived from a Cougar, but be something else? And WHY wouldn't Larry Smith design something new? Can't this guy reengineer and design something new?
