thanks from everyone for the efforts posting the pictures.

Yep, the Velocity 36 had viper V-10s in it and you are right, that was a mercedes motor sitting in their booth, didnt ask why though.

Thanks for the pictures all.

You guys asking for pics of ladies?
Outside of the eye candy at the show itself, it takes serious nads to flash a camera in front of any chick in a bar because she gives good sweater.

Think like a perv don't act like one!!!

Cuda, I only got four. Look at these posts on this thread. Page 4

108, 109, 110, 111

The surface drives were so far backed into the corner I couldnt get a pic. Awesome looking ride. I really liked the seats.

Thanks Mark. I crawled under the platform to look at the drives. The arnies were $14k upcharge from the Bravos. The fellow I was talking to said it would do 85 with 496's in it. As far as the seats, I definetly did not like them at all. I think they would stay wet, and the backs of them are hard as hell. I sure wouldn't want to be standing behind one of the front seats. He said that was just the way they built this boat and you can get most any configuration for the cockpit.

Ilmor was the company that actually designed, built, and serviced the Mercedes-Benz CART/Indy Car engines from 1994 - 2001. They still build the M-B Formula One engine. The engine in the picture is a 2001 CART engine; 161 cubic inches, 800 hp on 5 psi boost. Not bad....
