**************************
FACTS

Peter Casini has been around boats his whole life. He is now 44 years old.

In 1991, Casini started a business designing, manufacturing and selling
power boats under the Cobra trade name. He utilized a catamaran hull
design
with kevlar and fiberglass which gave the Cobra boats unique qualitites.
Although his boats achieved some racing success and his fishing boats were
featured with glowing praise in boating publications, his businesses all
failed. Casini was the design talent behind several entities all of which
are now defunct.

He ended up in personal bankruptcy in 1997 and later filed an unsuccessful
chapter 13 case. He has a foreclosure judgment against his residence and
is
behind in child support and taxes. He has relied on the generosity of
family
and friends for survival.

Thanks for the info Roger.

I've 'googled' various phrases trying to find more information on his early
race days with this boat:
http://www.cobraboats.com/cbra_about.html and more information about his
production boat the Cobra 3000 (Terminator Cat).

Thanks!
