Jordan, I love the fact that you guys are doing it right, AND taking detailed photos throughout the process! Once again, best of luck!

Awesome story, and best of luck. Those old Velocity's are some of my all time favorite boats!

Awesome story and I look forward to seeing the progress and completion!

Great Story. My Dad was a good friend of the Still Crazy race team. He owned and drove "Black Duck." I will keep him posted on this thread.

this is a great story and a great project, wishing you guys the best. love seeing it done thanks for sharing it.

Very nice and good luck with your project.

Wow! What a project. Its great to see old race boats get a new lease on life.

First off, I'm sorry for your loss..., I hope this project gives you some peace of mind.
After reading some of the other threads, I saw where Mike's daughter Kelly Poppa was looking for information on the the Cougar Cat Still Crazy. Well last week I was in Ft Myers and came across a Cougar Cat behind a shop. I believe this was "Mr. Roberts", previously raced as "Still Crazy". The hull didn't have paint, just weathered aluminum. I didn't get up close and didn't take photos since I didn't have my camera. If you are interested in seeing the boat, it is on Pine Ridge Rd., between Kelly and Gladiolus Dr., on the East side of the road about 300 yards behind a shop. I don't know for sure if this is Still Crazy-but you may want to check it out. I hope all goes well with the restoration!!

Truly awesome story to say the least...true blessing to get her back.:drink:

Thanks everyone for the great comments!

Bob, I can't believe the Cougar is so close. I'm going to Fort Myers this afternoon and will try to stop by and see it. Thanks again for letting me know. Kelly and the rest of the family don't know we got the boat yet as we're going to try and suprise my grandpa in November with the news at his 90th birthday party. Kelly just had a little baby girl a week ago so we're banking on her being too busy for the next couple weeks to check OSO and see this thread. I will certainly let her know about the Cougar as soon as she knows about the Velocity!

Best regards,
Jordan
