Stalker cat?
 

This may be a good question for Brownie. What kind of boat is this and what year might this be? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt

That looks like some version of the Wellcraft Cat. Excalibur cat I think.

Naah! It is my old Flight Marine 29'. (Think Popeyes, Class one records, 103 mph, 112mph, 128mph) and Sheer Terror M80. I lost control of the company while I was prez of Cougar, and Mike Whitmire and Al Feldman managed to kill themselves during the Miami Boat Show in one (that looks like the one!). The molds were purchased by Joe Dupuis, and are still kicking around.

Hi Brownie,

Do you know what model Arneson Drives were put on this boat? I guess the casings are bad and need replaced. Reason why Im asking all the questions is because Im considering purchacing it and I dont know much about the boat and neither does the seller.

It looks like it would be a nice boat ... What was this thing built out of? Any info on this would be great. No one knows this boat better than you Brownie.

Thanks,
Matt

Ok ... I own it. I guess i'll have to see what it does when I get it home. It'll be a cold ride but thats what winter jackets are for. :D If anyone knows any other history, feel free to let me know.

Thanks,
Matt

Matt-
I think that boat has alot of potential.. Keep us updated

I originally painted this boat back in 82, and as far as I know, it's the only one that was built while Mike and Al owned the company, prior to their deaths. This is the boat that Mike and Al died in while screraming up the intercoastal in Fort Lauderdale in 83.

the boat looks like in good exterior shape, sorry to ask but how did they get killed? of course the boat might have been fixed after the accident...
sad to read ending like this...

They were screaming down the intercoastal at night when a sportfishing boat pulled away from the dock without running lights. There were five of them on board, only two survived.

Life in the fast lane

there had to be a lot of damage hitting another boat at speed?

Stalker cat
 

Mostly to the upper deck of the cat, the other boat took the serious hit. Those were some serious mad real times. One day I'm custom painting boats and the next, I'm airbrushing t-shirts.

What ever happens with the new owner and boat. Thread just woke up again from 2004. Hopefully he didn’t pay mike and Al a visit. Seriously what ever happened with the purchase?

I replied to this thread because I was amazed that the boat was still around. The last time I saw that boat, it looked like the wreck of the Hysperous. Have to admit, it's odd that almost 20 years have passed since the last reply?
