My wife just called and said that she saw a yellow cat raceboat headed north on I-95. It had a #4 and Drambuie on Ice logos.

What's the deal with this boat? I assume that this it in the background of one of Ben's posts?

No it's the Older yellow Apache cat that has been for sale for awhile.

This one: http://server1.offshoreonly.com/geoc....php?a=2&b=198

and it's says sold.

The two boats behind Eric Cormier are Billy's WHM #5 and Roger Bourget's #4, from a couple of weeks ago in Sarasota.

I think its coming here to New Jersey

Did Someone Say Bandit Racing Engines

One of the OPA volunteers is moving up to racing next year. Drambuie/Canada Homes/Labatts, the 38 Apache cat will be racing in P1 on the OPA curcuit next year.

Plus I get to take a ride in it next week!!!!!!!! It should arrive at Kurts Marine tommorow.

Very cool old boat. Michael Peters design Mealstrom/Apache cat. Throttled by some of the best ever Smitty Smith(?), Johnny T, and Bobby Idioni I believe. Was converted from 5's to surface drives to 6's I think

Has new KE blown power. Supposed to do about 130. Should make for a great P1 boat.

as weird as this will sound it is kinda small for a big boat, does that make sense?

Yup, that's why it's a good P1 boat. Low freeboard and 2 feet short of a big boat.

I'll post some photos later after it arrives.
