Expresscraft Cougar Cat with Twins
I finally have enough information to get going with the Cougar Cat build with side by side twins.
Engines are from Bonzi Sports with stage one mod.
Strutts and rudder are from Top Secret Sports.
Boat is 60" long by 19" wide
I would just like to say thanks to Otto and friends for the head start.
Here are a few pics of the boat, current and previous projects.

Oh, by the way,
Here is one of the two bonzi stage two engines.
They do make a sweet looking engine.
The DEP inspector was present for approval.

I was the other guy John.
I was at firefox's house tonight...
When I walked into his garage I felt like I was in heaven.

RE: Expresscraft Cougar Cat with Twins
Yes, I started to cut the rails but ran into a little snag. They didn't send enough plywood.
I am going to stop at AC Moore and pick up a piece. The left over piece after I cut the sections that go into the sponsons, only left me with a two
inch strip for the center stringers.
What do you think of the pipes from warehouse hobbies.

RE: Expresscraft Cougar Cat with Twins
I have a question on the bhhanson pipes. It was sugested to me to use a 1 inch band pipe for my setup with a wrap to center pipe, but on bh's website, it says not forwrap to center configs.
Can anyone explain before I waste good money after bad.
