Thunderboat Row (1989 TV Pilot) Now available on DVD

This film has proven to be very elusive over the years, but a video transfer company specializing in rare films has made it available. Price is a little steep, but it's the only game in town.

Many years ago, I used to hang out at a now-defunct Miami Vice forum. Not long after I started posting there, a member of the camera crew for Vice joined up and was given his own section on the...

I've heard similar observations about the 402's build quality, strange bilge proportions, and cockpit depth. I remember asking Formula years ago what they thought about tweaking the 402 design and...

It's nothing as absurd as all that. No one tunes to 13 gph because the traditional method of fuel delivery doesn't allow for it.



And therein lies the crux of the matter. The only thing that...

I used to think along very similar lines, but I've since come across way too many vintage publications by General Motors and Shell that clearly state otherwise. The book Fuel Economy of the Gasoline...

I don't have my archives handy at the moment, but am pretty sure the 28 was a prototype, and then shortened to become the 233. Both were identical in every dimension, besides length. I'll look around...

In theory, the Scarab should have a slight edge with its 23 degree deadrise and longer running surface, but I doubt there would be much difference in performance if both boats had the same power.

The 36 wide was a very interesting boat. They often had exquisite woodwork in the cabins that gave an
