All the switches at the helm are labeled with cartoon characters. Each switch had a character, drawn by the owner, and laser etched into the cranberry anodized dash plates.

I have it. I'll look for it. There was a bit of mention in that article (or the side article about the boat itself) of the custom touches.

I musta read that article 50 times. The boat was ahead of it's time in terms of attention to the details.

Look where we are now.

It was a Ferrari (348) it raced against.
And "everybody" knows who the boat went to..it was printed in the pages of Powerboat at the time so no real secret...
But it was not Flintstone.
