10-20-2013 08:26 PMI think you are wrong on this one Artie. Cougar 38"s won all kinds of races and may be one of the best cat designs of their era. Saying that they were a bad design because of an offshore accident where someone passed away would be like saying Skaters are bad designs for the same reason.
Boats running at high speeds in offshore conditions are dangerous, period.
Besides, the cat that the Prince died in was a 42, not a 38.
Mourning In Monaco Caroline's Husband Dies In Speedboat Crash
By Maria Gallagher, Daily News Staff Writer Daily News wire services contributed to this report
Posted: October 03, 1990
Stefano Casiraghi, husband of Princess Caroline of Monaco, was killed today while defending his title during a world championship speedboat race off the coast of the tiny Mediterranean principality.
Caroline, 33, was in Paris when the accident occurred. She quickly left for Monaco, wearing black mourning clothes.
Witnesses said Casiraghi, 30, an experienced offshore racer, and co-pilot Patrice Innocenti drove their double-hulled boat, the Pinot di Pinot, straight into a wave at about 93 mph during a morning run for the World Offshore Championships in St. Jean-Cap-Ferrat, between Monaco and Nice.
The 42-foot boat flipped over, ejecting Innocenti. Witnesses said Casiraghi remained strapped to his seat and bore the full impact of the vessel when it slammed into the water. The two-engine, five-ton boat then sank with Casaraghi aboard.

Because of accidents like that safety systems have come along ways in 30 years.As we all know there is no system that is 100% safe at the speeds that the boats are running today.As the speed increases so does the danger we are taking our life and our passengers lives in our throttle hand.
That being said,I'm not taking up golf.

Some of the members of the Serious News Team made t over to Wesco Racing Engines to meet with Dave and discuss performance boating. It was nice to see Endangered Species there all ready to go. Dave said he thought the boat was amazing the way it drove and handled the Lake Michigan chop when they had it out. It was certainly great to see one of the old offshore racers being maintained properly and hopefully we will get to see it out on the lake a lot more this year.
