photos of old school offshore boats
 
I was on www.superboat.com this week watching the offshore races at key west. They have some old videos from the '80s and 90's that had some awsome boats like "jesse James" "Systems Cougar Cat" and "popeyes". Does anyone know where I can look up photos of these boats? I can't seem to find many photos on the web???
Thanks,
chris

Hey all, here is some pics of one of the best running old scool apaches ever. These are from the original ballantine molds and are 65" in length. Im currently doing a kevlar lay up on them and everyone that has seen them needs duct tape to keep their mouths closed!! this is the Recon k-65 apache, and some pics of the Recon mantis 53" cat along with the all new interceptor 72" cat. and last but not least the all new k-585 apache, which is a 58.5"version of the K-65 done in kevlar with a built in 7layer carbon/coremat transom (like the K-65) Feel free to call me with any questions.239-253-0905. thx Ray

This isn't a rc boat, but it's one of my favorites on youtube. Old school Scarab Smokin Joe.

Thanks for the reply. This is what I was lookng for. I found a few websites that sell dvd's of the old offshore races but they want about $100 each... I like the "systems" cat and the "jessie James" cat from Chris Craft from the early 80's.

Hi Tom and Mart, <span class="hps">unfortunately</span> the amg cigarette is an <span class="hps">abandoned project, her new owner, filippo, <span class="hps">offered</span> it to <span class="hps">me but i really wanted a big hull. It's still for sale (only hull) with or without arneson drives, it also has two trims with idraulic mod.</span></span>
