The early 47s were called Stilettos as well. That boat is called Four of a Kind. The boat had four 1100 Keith Eickert motors coupled to two big Arneson outdrives.

The boat had surface drives I believe, he put it in reverse they pulled the rear of the boat underwater. The owner at the time if I recall correctly told the insurance company it had 4 600hp engines, when they found out what was in the boat they weren't happy, I remember there was some big issue with it.
