Not sure you will find much build info, but the English built cougars were all over built, hence performing so well.

At cougar,.......Steve Curtis and Pete are the ones to talk too.

Also if you can get ahold of Gary Stray ( supercat rigging ) and I believe he also signed on with gieco,..........anyways he used to work for cougar also.

When you go to the cougar website go in the gallery and look at Dr. Bobs
restored cougar with the turbo engines,.........there's a reason he bought
old and made it new rather than buying new.

Also I have a thread here on OSO with plenty of pictures of his boat.

Thanks
Jon

We built in every medium, from plywood to honeycomb, pretty much custom. Very well built. No two raceboats the same.

If you can get an English made Cougar it'll be a fine boat. There Where some Copies made (in the same building in Miami) that fall short when Quality & Attention to details where concerened. The Quality of the Glass & Glass Work are Fine, but the quality of Hardware and rigging suffered Badly. I think Tony's "Head Rigger" made $8.00 an hour.
