Whether it's a Cougar or a Boss it's still the same design. Going 60mph through some good chop or swells will put a smile on your face that would be hard to hide. I ran a few of the boats Tony made for the Venezualian navy, I went out Haulover Cut then south to Government cut, coming in Government cut there where 10'+ swells about 50' apart (and you have to keep those turbo deisels spooled up, Right???) I basicly held it wfo(throtteling back in the air) jumping a few sets of swells while stuffing right through the others .. I had a guy with me that had never been on an Offshore boat before (I think he shat himself)...My point is fix that boat up the best you can and run it for all it's worth, it is an excellant design. the superboat world champ (twice)... do what you can and go have fun, I don't think the hull will let you down. (it was made by the same guys who built the Cigs, Apaches, Tempest etc)
