Looking for any photos/info about the Team USA boat that Don Johnson raced back in the day. I crawled all over it a few years ago at American Offshore Marina. That thing is huge. If I can get the photos scanned I will post.
Thanks: Matt

I will look for more...I would like to know what this boat weight was?

Thanks chiwiekw, great pics. I believe the boat was made of wood. I watched footage of it running on a Big Seas dvd and I believe T2x is doing the commentary and he makes reference to its light weight, maybe he will comment? Any more pics would be great.

It wasn't wood, i think it was Kevlar or Carbon fiber...i have all of T2x DVD's they are great!

I had heard that the boat was being rigged for turbines. When I was aboard there was nothing, it was a bare hull. I don't recall where I read that it was wood but it seemed very solid.
