Default Team USA

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

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.

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.

You don't happen to recall which Big Seas DVD you were watching, do you? I'm digging up information about this boat and would love to see some video of it running...
