Old race boat found
I was showing a boat in Newburyport Massachusetts yesterday and stumbled across an old race boat.
It was a Cat and it was made out of WOOD!
It said "Flap Jack" on the side and had the number 45.
Very much trashed, but unique looking.
It had large engine hatches in the back.
Anyone ever heard of this boat?

Re: Save the Old race Boats
The original Cobra's were built and sold by a racer named Billy Elswick. ANy boat named Flap Jack was once owned by Howard Quam. Howard purchesd a Wooden Cougar cat that was previously raced by Betty Cook under the KAAMA name. It may be that boat.
