Default Popeyes Flight Marine cat

Does anyone have any pictures of this boat? I think it ran back on 83 and 84. Thanks for posting.

Was that the little wooden one with the six outboard power heads that ran through two drives. I was a big Copeland fan and have pics of all his boats, just not sure which boat you mean.

The wood one with the Outboard powerheads was a Cougar, He's talkin about a Flight Marine cat, the same as Sheer Terror.

chewiekw, I will have to go through some stuff. I was really into the whole racing thing back then and probably have some, but will have to find them. I will see what I can come up with.
