Crap Graham, Sorry!!!!!

I guess that's what happens when I do too many things at the same time. (Or, I'm just getting old).

But you would be happy if Phil was a Brit I think!!

So;

Thanks Graham, and I guess we know why it showed 3:25AM our time!!

And sorry once again!!

And does anyone know any facts about this particular boat?

And does anyone know any facts about this particular boat?

From the archives, Gentry raced this in 1984/5 and then had it converted to Gentry Turbo Eagle for 1991/2.

It was listed as a 48ft Cougar then 50ft when converted,but that could be journo reporting. Powered by 4 x Gentry engines totalling 4400hp which would make it the most powerful cougar superboat built.

Thanks, gives me a much better start. Had no idea it became the Gentry Turbo Eagle....

This must be the wooden 35' Cougar?

A picture with a date! Cool.

So this would have to be during the Key West World's in 1982?

Just let me know which ones you want the dates of and i'll get them for you, all the slides have dates on them.

I would have to agree 11-13-82 would be the Worlds in Key West

This is the 39' Conquest cat driven by Frenchman Jean Pierre Fruitier. It had Lamborghini engines and finished second in the 1987 Villanueva in Spain, behind the 1986 Sam Griffith Trophy winner Italy's Antonio Gioffredi.

That was one of the oddest Key West Worlds there ever was. It was officially not the worlds because the world championship had already been decided in Cowes and the Italian Renato Della Valle was the Sam Griffith Trophy winner. Copeland finished second in Key West in '82, behind Tony Garcia and Sammy James.

So far I've been unable to find anything out on this boat. But I'm not done digging yet. Maybe Graham knows something?
