If that link does not work, search google "hunton gazelle 43 motor boat and yachting" that should bring up the review.

I just found the movie boat forsale on yachtworld.com, type (hunton) (43) (1998-2006) price ($1-500,000). I guess boardom and insomnia has its perks.

It was a cool boat and the scenes were cool too. BUT, they were supposedly diesels. So therefore the burning cigar trick wouldn't have worked very well... diesel is hard to ignite with a cigar. Very hard.
And you can have Matt. I'll take the chick... Penelope Cruz!!!

Stars Mathew McConaughey and Penelope Cruz spend most of the first half of Sahara onboard a stunning Hunton 43 Gazelle, which is kitted out with Simrad navigation equipment. With an intense filming schedule in Morocco, the production crew required three specially adapted for filming Gazelles, two fully loaded with jet drives and one basic hull to blow up for the finale of a stunning chase scene
