The May issue of Performance Boats magazine has a two page spread of this beautiful boat on p. 76. I know a lot of guys don't like all those pastel colors but to me that boat is drop-dead gorgeous!

Thanks Steve, just been smokin busy and in and out of the shop a lot. Had some big boat jobs i had to travel for and have only been able to check in from time to time. These threads move fast and i really enjoy catching up on them. I really get a kick out of the old race photos. When i was in high school in the 80's it was funny my friends all had some sports hero they idolized, football baseball whatever. Me i had boat raceing related stuff, they had no idea what the heck i was talking about. It was a real treat to get a feature issue of boating with a Cig on the cover because it was still pretty rare. I still have lots of old mags and a few programs from back then. Keep the good stuff coming

The last year 1984 the Cat with the drives all the way up The boxes were above the transom 116-117 Remember In 1982 Danny won the "S" title those boats ran faster than the open boats .

That 32 Cougar was built by Asia craft same as the Arneson #6 Boat the second 38 wood Cougar IMHO,Now when I was at Cougar (188 st) working on a customers boat , they came through and a drop dead Beautiful Filipina was in the mix, I could not focus on my work for the rest of the day.
