The May issue of Performance Boats magazine has a two page spread of this beautiful boat on p. 76. I know a lot of guys don't like all those pastel colors but to me that boat is drop-dead gorgeous!

Thanks Steve, just been smokin busy and in and out of the shop a lot. Had some big boat jobs i had to travel for and have only been able to check in from time to time. These threads move fast and i really enjoy catching up on them. I really get a kick out of the old race photos. When i was in high school in the 80's it was funny my friends all had some sports hero they idolized, football baseball whatever. Me i had boat raceing related stuff, they had no idea what the heck i was talking about. It was a real treat to get a feature issue of boating with a Cig on the cover because it was still pretty rare. I still have lots of old mags and a few programs from back then. Keep the good stuff coming :cool:

Down here the offshore made the papers and with Cigarette,Donzi,Magnum,Factories and the Marine stadium races. Good times

The last year 1984 the Cat with the drives all the way up The boxes were above the transom 116-117 Remember In 1982 Danny won the "S" title those boats ran faster than the open boats .

That 32 Cougar was built by Asia craft same as the Arneson #6 Boat the second 38 wood Cougar IMHO,Now when I was at Cougar (188 st) working on a customers boat , they came through and a drop dead Beautiful Filipina was in the mix, I could not focus on my work for the rest of the day.

Cat, Pat from Active Thunder painted that boat.
