Speeds quoted by Vinnie a joke. That boat couldn't run 80mph in those seas. Should have called Johnny T for a thrill ride in a Skater!

The Camaro they were building looked decent (but still not my style) until they polished the aluminum panels. It looked much better with raw aluminum... The seat covers were a pretty nice design, but executed poorly. For being new covers they fit terrible. For the sticker price on that car (I am sure it is up there) the new seat covers should have been much tighter. I know this is very off topic, but the guys at West Coast Customs do very nice interior work. Much of it is way too over the top and definately not my style but the craftsmanship is top notch. Ok back to the boat. The conditions looked pretty rough and the throttle man was barely pushing that thing. It didn't look like he got past 1/4 throttle. Jr. took a ride in the plane.... Why would you take a plane ride when you had the opportunity to take a ride in a CAT in those conditions? That looked like fun, no matter how fast they were going.....

I was in Vegas and saw the flat black Cayenne Turbos in action on the Strip filming a chase scene:

Let me tell you, that Porsche hauled ASS and handled better than the Maserati.

BUT... I doubt they had such on the OCC Soap Opera.

The local agent/marine coordinator...(whoever that is) maybe did not have PJD/OCC best interest in mind.
There was a big power MTI standing by with very competent crew, but greed over a few hundred dollars took over and they went a different way.

The reality is only the people who know the difference really know and we certainly do.
