Rough water supremo.
 
Guys, step asside and let the real rough water master into the ring.

'Gincanotto' The 55' Buzzi, quad Seatek / Trimax marathon boat. Seen here during the 2001 Cowes-Torqauy-Cowes race.

Gincanotto' The Buzzi 55
how fast in what conditions could that do?

It ran at the Cowes Torquay Cowes event a few years back, and I believe it runs just over the 100mph mark. but don't confuse it, or it's apparent low top end compared to some of the fragile stuff you run over there.

It really is a open ocean monster, not a sprint boat.

That's it, though the pleasure, and in fact all the big Buzzis only get the twin Issotta Franchini motors, or CATs, not the awsome quad seateks of 'Gincanotto'.

Another from archives.

Ratikle, it looks like you may have been browsing the archives of my website.

That picture was taken by Powerboat historian, Graham Stevens

http://media.boatmad.com/gallery/v/g...2001_.jpg.html

Quite funny really, that video edit of the old & newer 'Warpaths' running, was one I put together as a short snippet from a 1 hour tape, the edit from old to new is the giveaway that it's the one I did. That too has found it's way from our archive, to youtube, and on to this thread.

What a small world.

Boatmad.com is your website? I browse any performance website I can find in my spare time.

Yes it is.

I was a member here as 'Leviathan' for ages, but must have upset someone, as my account hasn't worked for yonks, and I couldn't be arsed to sort it. but wanted to post on this thread, so re-joined as 'Warlord' . (the name of an old raceboat I own)

Maybe the super gods will disable this username too.
