Don Johnsons old 43 scarab that had the Lambo motors was here in Ventura for years. It sold a couple of years ago and is now back east somewhere (LOTO maybe?)

The European boats look a good bit larger than our supercats. Which are faster and why? 
Also, you never see one of ours simply blow over like Maritimo does in that vid. What's up with that?

Today these engines are in California, awaiting their new home in a platinum...

Restrictors removed probably in the range you qoute.
