No idea Jon, I tapped and banged all the main strutures and they sounded O.K. and the hull seemed sound as well but then unless you are an expert it is difficult for a layman to know. The buyer will be hitting the water in the spring with the boat and i guess we will know then!! An awful lot of water kept coming out of the interior for a while but eventually it did dry up.

I'm restoring my Cougar, but fortunately, I started out with something in good shape to start with. Takes a lot of guts to take one in that condition and turn it around. Great job!
Anybody know a source for the original US1 46 stickers that were on the side of an '88 Cougar?
And thanks again to Jon Fuller for sending me a couple of skeleton key blanks for my cabin! A local guy still had a key machine to cut the out for me and they work great.
