The very first thing I though was "Shamu"! I suppose it does have good visibility...for one person at least.

I've got to wonder what a "ventilated skipper seat" looks like? Is that so you can fart and boat at the same time? Or does the air flow into the seat to keep your jewels cool? I can hear the people riding in the thing.... Vy can't I see any-ting.... zee booble is covered mit zalt zpray! I'd hate to be in that thing for more than the first splash! And the boat is made out of "aluminium"... they must have had a limey translate the site from german to english.... only the english call aluminum...
alu-mini-um...:D

Jah.... I vent to the Doodledork boot show!Hey Glassdave.... FYI... there is a MIG plant in poland that makes replica Shelby Cobras out of aluminum.. they are actually done quite well.... The chassis are made here in US... but the body is hammered out in Poland by the unemployed MIG workers.

reed - i'm very familiar with the cobra plant in Poland. they are very nice. i have been doing custom automotive sheet metal fabrication for a several years now. if im not mistaken they were also casting 427 side oiler blocks. man i got a great Cobra story. i was buying some parts for a 65 conv T bird i was doing and i found a guy in Antioch IL. that had some stuff i needed. when i got there i was looking around his warehouse and noticed some halibrands that were up on a shelf. i asked him about them and he said "yea . . there for a car im doing in the back building" we go back and he has the #11 Miles/Gurney GT-40 that hes restoring and 3 big block Cobras. all original. i about passed out. those cars are unreal :cool: :cool: :cool: .

Lots of hidden treasures all over> I used to work for Phil Hill... he was the Formula 1 world champion in 1961. Drove for Ferrari... I've met Carrol Shelby and lots of other famous drivers over the years. Dan Gurney is out here in Los Angeles working for Toyota.
