It was somewhat heavy, and not as fast as the later "Captain America" we built (see below). It also did not have particularly attractive styling.... but it has lasted , it seems, forever.....
By the way the entire boat is wood fibreglass composite...not just the bottom.

Remember Cougar had multiple boats campaigning in Europe, and the U.S. in both open and Superboat class. In truth neither Jaguar....nor Conquest ...had a major impact on their position.
We did manage to give Cougar a much better run for their money with the Shadow/Chris Cats in the smaller classes.
IMHO the 35' Jaguar was basically a scaled up Chris Cat and very well made, although for the record, neither George nor I had any involvement with that hull.

I don't think any builder of offshore raceboats dallied in the area of wierd boats that we did. The 8 engine Popeye's, the 12' NACA wing over Toleman's 38' alunimum cat. The bottom shape, with last panel following the datum line., variety of materials, etc. Remember that we invented the Superboat class (much to my regret), perfected the big triple vees, the Cougar Cub, first over 100 mph, 110, 120 130 140, 150. Other than that, we didn't do s**t.

this is still owned by the Bakers brothers (twins) one lives in St Pete now and the other is still in Lk. St. Clair area they used to double trouble a 24 Skater and campaigned this for a few years as Beach Bull and last i heard they still have the boat but was running 2.4 outboards so not very competitive
