He is the one that persuaded me to chase my deam and jump from automotive to marine. I'll have to look him up have not talked to him in years.
What became of the Executioner & Cougar?....was just talking about them both the other day with a guy who ran those things back in the day with Doc Larry.

Are you talking about an old pic before you bought it?

Yes, the one from St Clair thread, I hope someone might remember this Mag. because of the extensive work on the stand up faring. It was professional job probably done in Florida. No signs of race decals, I think it was fit out to race, but never got finished? She spent her life in Florida before Buffalo, it never got splashed up here, the Florida reg. numbers are still there.

A stock 330hp motor was put installed in front of the #3 and I bought everything. the boat, #3 drive, stock 330hp, and an almost complete 468 with aluminum heads. got a good deal on the whole kit. the boat went 68mph on gps on the test drive before I bought it. I changed the pistons and rods of the new motor and added a 177 blower. im hopingfor 80mph out of her once its done.
I have a ton of old literature from predator and Aero as well. contact me if your interested and I will do what I can to get you guys who want one a copy.
I just realized I knew your boat, a few years back it would always go out the salt river by my house and come back many times in tow, the motor would give him fits. the last time I saw it go out it ran great must have been the the 330 motor.
If you go back to the old motor dont over build it,its more fun to be on the lake than in the bilge !!!!
