Schwartzcraft Power boats to set new Vee bottom record before the Miami boat show

Dateline Vienna:

1/24/07 7:00 AM

Millionaire sportsman Horatio Schwartz announced today that he would run his newest Schwartzcraft racing Vee hull to a World Record speed for monohulls at a secret location and date. Horsepower is rumored to be over 4000 per engine, but the number of engines and length of the hull were not disclosed.

Horatios' press secretary, Sterling Hyperbole, when reminded that there doesn't seem to actually be a Schwartzcraft Boat company, replied: " Zees are simply annoying details.....and we laugh at your implications!" When pressed further about the whereabouts of the secretive Mr. Schwartz, Sterling replied glibly: " He is out looking for zee perfect crash helmet....one zat will not mess up hees hair". A final question about Mister Hyperbole's strange accent caused the press conference to end in a fistfight.

Story at eleven.

Re: Schwartzcraft Power boats to set new Vee bottom record before the Miami boat show

I also heard some nut put a pair of 400 hp O/Bs on a boat that flies and has theoretically suprpassed the World Water Speed record for Propeller driven craft. The computer generated run is certified and santioned by Microsoft.

Should be a cool article, I'm working on it now.
