Going to have vintage power and drives??
Would be cool to see a nice 8 stack mechanical injected set of powerplants in there
Even if it wasn't ran originally

I don't think that is the old Mercruiser Special. I saw it not long ago and it was still painted as Popeyes.
Also had a different (black) cover over the cockpit...

Why did Ben Kramer order a deep v Cougar, when he was making Apaches? I know he ordered a 48 foot catamaran from Cougar that was Erics Reality/Gentry
