Default STEVE 1 (KOSS) Passed On - Designer/Builder of the Cheetah Cat...
Rumor has it that Steve Koss passed on a few months back.
Steve was a combative individual on these forums, but also a wealth of information as long as he didn't get his feathers ruffled.
But the guy was pure 100% genius when It came to engineering concepts and testing for water-based performance.
Also, Steve and his brothers could put a finish on a plug and/or boat unlike anybody else...they were better than CAD/CAM work!
Goodspeed.

That sucks to hear if that is the case, I really dig his posts, especially around the Thad Allen mold creation

HIs Powerplay boat knowledge was probably the most detailed on any offshore forum!
