Hell yeah. I love the brute force huge v-hull.

Yes bad and incomplete. Like spending 5k on a hooker and having whiskey dick. Come on. Someone tell us if the thing ever worked at all and if it did what it ran and how it handled. Pretty please.

Yup, want to know if the drives worked on a straight V. I am sure someone will attempt to push some rainbows up our ass here

I looked on the Trinidad Tobago powerboat site, no mention of the boat, Cant find any sign of it since the 2013 articles.

Im pretty sure I saw a vid. of it running 111, maybe as high as 117? That was some time ago, maybe on instagram or facebook no idea. I know it did over 110mph whenever I saw it. I've always loved that boat
