SK-190,

Just curious if they have talked about using the RAGE hull for Super Cat Lite or do they feel it is to big for the class??? How far is the Platinum facility from Jim Dykes shop??? Thanks for all your updates.

Re: Popeye Supercat pics
 

Do you guys realize the history behind this Popeye's Team?

Way back when, in the early 70's, Dominic Visconsi had a little 27 foot Magnum that he consistently beat his friend, Sandy Satullo with. Sandy being a competitive guy didn't like that.....sohe went to Florida and bought himself one of those new "Cigarette" boats....a 36 footer no less. The Copper Kettle.

Well since he had the boat, he figured he might as well race it and see what he could do.....he won 5 races that first year.

Now of course his friend, Mr Visconsi, bought a 36 footer too, and named it .....guess what? Yes, Popeye!

Check out our Historic Race Boats website formore.

Is Dominic done for good with the racing or is he planning a return,always a great competitor he and Jim.

I was just at platinums new facility in Torrance ,ca.They are getting the molds ready to build another 40 tencara.Unbelieable quality.
