Can you ask to him?

Marco - I have had little opportunity to read and respond due to my computer having been destroyed by a recent electrical storm so my only access is whilst at work! I will try and contact Davey Wilson and ask about that boat! Keep the pics coming!

What happened to Heavy Metal?

I want it and now !

That boat Caliente was raced in the USA ONE time in Marathon, Fl. It was shot racing against Reggie Fountain when they were making a movie about offshore called Blue Lightning. The movie never came out.

It was builded in 1987 for Walter Ragazzi that just had a fleet of real Apache 41' mono and cat.
That boat I think it's somewhere in North Italy....Como area.

Here the same boat in 1988's version for Silvio Mursia.

Heavy Metal, the last CUV became , Gifford, Then Bandit, Now owned by a Guy near Atlantic City.
