06-10-2011 08:40 PMI 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...

06-14-2011 05:31 PMWhy 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
