Spirit of America, any info?
 

Anybody have any history or any pics or video on the history of the cougar cat that John Antonelli raced around 1988?

Hey Rug, it's Scot Smith. As you likely know Hurley Stepp would have been on the sticks with John A. back then. I have a picture of the boat somewhere with the original paint/canopies before you and your dad redid the boat. You can also look through the pics here, these guys have a lot of old school pics on their FB page. https://www.facebook.com/MidOcean/ph...type=3&theater

You can also contact T2x on here as he would have been calling the races back then and no doubt has info for you. If you can't get him here, he's a 'friend' of mine on FB (Rich Luhrs). You can also check with Ryan Beckley here or he's also a friend of mine on FB. Ryan is a walking encyclopedia of race boats, especially cats.

Good luck!

Thanks Scott! I never really looked into the history of the boat and thought it would be interesting to see what I could dig up

Well I see a lot of ppl have viewed this but no response so at the very least I'll post some pics that I've foundhttp://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/a...s-scan0004.jpg
