Call Lightning Jacks down in New Jersey. They have the old Popeyes Aluminum Cougar that has been shortened from its original 50 feet. Turbines were/are in it. I think it has surface drives, but not sure.

I think that probably it is the former "Dirty Laundry"-4 engines version that Joe Mach drove in APBA Superboat in 1992-93. Unfortunately, the poor quality of the photos does not help in the identification of details.
The "Dirty Laundry" was exactly a 47 'CUV designed by Michael Peters and originally had two side by side cockpit with canopy but now I see brings a single cockpit.
CUV of that size were built a few and that was the first ever built and almost all others are in Italy today.

Probably you are right.
I have a picture of 2005 where it is still perfectly preserved in its original form, but then I do not know what happened to that boat in the last 5 years.
Honestly, I can not think of any other cat CUV of this size that can be in U.S. .
