What Speed?
 

Finishing up the rigging this week on a 1984, 32' Cougar Cat. The boat has been completely re-rigged... #5 drives, Twin custom Keith Eickert 900+ motors. Will be testing in Sanford early next week. Any thoughts on the speeds we will get? The boat originally had twin 420's and TRS's and did 80mph.

Bruce talk to me, what happened to the Sunsation??????

Hey Mike...Still have the Sunsation and still working on more speed :)
This is a friends boat in which Cruboss has rigged and I have helped him out along with doing all the Powder Coating. The boat is coming out incredible. Will definitely be an eye catcher and will hopefully maker it in Hot Boat Mag. Were trying to make it in the water saturday, but there is a few more things to complete, so hopefully early next week. I'll post pics that I have now and then post some from test day.
Are you going to the boat show? We are heading down Friday and coming back saturday night.

Burce,
So that's what you have been doing with your OSO time! I'm guessing, around 115-120 MPH.
Good luck and be careful.

Cruboss finishing up last minute details before we install.

Installation

32 Cougar

The motors at just under 7lbs of boost made over 1100hp. Keith dropped it down to 6lbs. of boost made over 900HP.
My guess on speed is in the 130's

I'll have pics and hopefully video on test day

that's cool!..good luck!
:cool:

I would guess in the 130 range too

be careful..we dont want to be reading about you in the papers

Is that an ACTIVE cat? It Fiberglass right? It will be VERY fast 130+.

HEY ; did i sign a release for you to post my pictures ? i have a couple of you.....

Bruce don't think that motor is big enough:D :D We need to get together this year! Good luck with the testing.
Forgot about the show, don't think I will make it, I have been staying busy, adding a room to the new house and doing most of the work myself, got my lowers apart on the Skater for some pm.

who is the chubby guy leaning over the engine compartment? i don't see any food in there !

What's the weight of the Cougar?

with or without the chubby owner ?

SPEED??
If your luck is like mine , I hope it goes at least as fast as it did before !!!:eek: Good luck with it !;)

your too funny Leo... I'm getting a lot inquires from women asking who is that handsome guy wearing the apron in the pics. They want to know if you cook too.:)
Hey answer some of the questions since your the rigger.
Boot...we're pretty confident its will go much faster then it did. But we will keep all informed.
Now if we can only get Cruboss to finish his work, maybe we can test it.

That engine is a freakin BEAST.

I would agree with 130 'ish +or-.

........as long as you can keep contact with water!! :eek:

:crazy: :crazy:

Hey Ryan,
Yes it is an Active Cat.

hey bruce ; thanx for the post. nice pics. i thought with those digital cameras you could alter the pics to make the chubby one look ,......well ...........less chubby ?
