I saw the engines at Pier 57 in TN after the boat was de-rigged. David Woods told me they were 1800hp alcohol fueled Sterlings.

As much as i would have liked to see it broke by a much higher speed, thats a huge accomplishment. Is there a video of this that i missed?

I know this is Joe's 'race boat', but I thought I heard this one also has a finished cabin... can someone confirm or deny that?

This boat does not have a cabin, but the cockpit is fully finished, alcantara headliner, 5 man leather interior, stereo, carpet, air conditioning, fully rigged for race or pleasure
