Italian vs. American technology, looks like a new line drawn in the playground sandbox.

+1 (big time) epic journey right there. Would love to make a trip like that in my lifetime.



congrats to Fabio none the less though, one of the great innovators of this sport/hobby.

Thumbs up Real competition.

Congrats to the Italians!
Impressive- I would like to know more about that boat.

Makes what Chris and Tyson did all the more incredible.
I'm sure the phone lines at Statement are hot today!

I would think they have the FPT 560 hp diesel's in her .
he use's them in other race boat's and from what I have herd they can be turned up a bit in hp with just a map change .
also I also think that cummins get's there block's from them .
