Big loss for the Long Island crew. Great boats, all of 'em back in the day: Superboat, Kryptonite, Hustler, Activator, Progression. One thing you never worried about with a Long Island boat was how well it was built.
RIP Mr. Cohen.

Out of all the 21 types built, Shadow, Team Shadow, Activator, Challenger, the 21 Superboat was always the Leader-in-Class. John incorporated an inner liner that the others did not have. This made the 21 super boats ride with a solid, somewhat quiet feel while Keeping weight comparable with non- liner 21s. High Resale value of 21 Superboats confirms the Quality.
Rest in Peace Mr. Coen…..
