I know mine's a Canadain Cougar, according to Tom one of the first outboards.

Dave

I finally got my new Cougar wet on Tuesday. I took it very easy for the first time and had it up 90 mph on the Gaffrig non GPS speedo with lots more there. I had the jacks at one and not much trim just to get comfortable with the boat. I know there is a lot more potential there with some seat time. I will be sure to update this post with maybe a video or two.
Thanks
Gary

PS: I love the sound of the Twins screaming in my ear!

Thanks for the warm welcome. I have been lurking here for some time and have learned from you guys that these boats a worthy to have, so far I am not disappointed. I had it out last weekend on Lake Havasu for the first time and everything seems to work real well, I am just learning how everything works. It has a single stock 300x with Sportmaster lower. I really like how this boats rides at 30-60mph, we touched 80 without much effort and it was still charging. With the jack plate lifted to "3" and trim at "4-5" it seems to cruise along really efficiently getting about 10PSI, does this seem correct? Current prop is a 26P Bravo 1, seems about right, might try a 28p. Any guidance on what prop for this setup or other suggestions from you all with more experience with these boats? The gel is a little sun faded, I'm going to work on getting it polished up and will send a few new pics.Attachment 411991

Try a 28 BBLADES blaster..!!!

Hi is the boat on lake simcoe by chance? I have seen one very similar outside Orillia.

I ran a Mazco RE 4 30 pitch on both of single 300X boats with very good success. I put Bob's 5 degree transom wedges in to help with the planning when boat was loaded. I had a top speed on 92 on GPS as well. Get it polished up and get it wet and let us know how it runs.
Thanks
Gary

Here is my Cougar 22 MTR yesterday in Lake Havasu. Sorry for the poor quality, my buddy took it from a Kayak oddly enough. I was probably somewhere between 70-75MPH here.

He said 35. ;)

Dave:)

Great about the 22 is it's like driving a luxury car, but can handle some rough water.

Not painted. Just a Vinyl sticker over the purple and grey pinstripe sticker around the checker. The purple is still hiding under there! The upholstery however had to go but that was already done before I got it.

Great to see this thread still going after I revived it!
My Cougar DBR 300X /372 HP is insane. I’m buying a 28 pitch to slow it down to 108 mph.

What prop's are you using? What is the name of the trim tabs on the tunnel's . Thanks

My 21’ MTR Cougar ran 122.44 mph on Labor Day at the Oroville Afterbay....
a worked 32 Hoss 3 blade @ 7000 rpm , 1.62, 6.49% slip. DBR 300X
As far as I know ,and hear, it’s the fastest 21’ single Outboard in the country.

do you have fixed trim tabs on your tunnels

No tabs...20 gal of fuel, 2 seats in the boat. My boat is inline seating, center steer.

The only Cougar that ran fixed tabs were the 18 Omega needle nose tunnels.

Dual motor boats had the tabs? Bruce had the first outboard 22 and no tabs, rode in it and did not need them.

Dave

I have twin 300's it needs them. What make are the fixed tabs? What props are you running? My boat will not run in ruff chop it porpoises
