Check out the Cougar Custom 20.5 Sport Skier Outboard Model

The Cougar 20.5 Sport Skier is the result of a very careful and long tooling process. 

No expense was spared as Cougar wanted a fresh new product that would maintain its styling appeal for many years to come.  The Cougar 20.5 Sport Skier comes fully equipped with standard features that keep the option list very short.  This is one of the reasons Hot Boat Magazine named the 20.5 Sport Skier Best Value of 1995 along with the Ski Boat of the Year in 1994.  Cougar’s constant updates have allowed the 20.5 Sport Skier to remain at the top of its class in today’s market.

Upholstery

 
•Seat frames are 100% composite construction with reinforced fiberglass corners for a no-rot long lasting frame.

•Top quality vinyl with U.V. inhibitors.

•Yachting cloth substituted for vinyl upon request.

•Non-wicking and U.V. protected threading.

•All seams are double stitched.

•High density foam is used on all seats to prevent bottoming out.

•All vinyl panels are backed with 1/2” foam.

Because of Cougar's racing heritage the quality of construction in the Cougar 20.5 Sport Skier is of a degree unheard of in a "production line boat", at any cost. The dedication to total quality of construction from the trailer to the cockpit covers assure that Cougar Custom Boats maintain their value for many years to come and that Cougar owners can maximize their time on the water, not in the repair shop.
