Well, I may never make it on to TV but my boat did!

She looks good as the Pinta!

I was asked by our NJPPC club president. The Formula is owned by one of our club members who is in the marketing business and that's pretty much how it happened. I'll tell you it was a LONG hot day for 20 seconds of footage!
At least the money made covered most of the damage costs!

It does add to the boats already noteworthy history. It was used in Bad Boys II and was Michael Mann's (director) boat during the filming of the Miami Vice movie.

...and I've partied on it. I'm also the Chief Navigation Software Updater for that boat! Congrats, Tom!
