Who Ran What at Key West
I like following the racing, but one reason is to know what people ran (boats, engines, drives, etc) and how well they actually worked.
For example, what do you know about a given hull: when was it built, materials (carbon? kevlar? solid glass? nomex core? ...), construction methods (vacuum bag? post cured? hand laid up? hacked out of the carcass of three old boats?), interesting history (won before, was always a pig, ...), design aspects (extra big steps, removed rocker, ...).
The key question: Why did one boat beat another?
I am sure there are lots of stories about these boats, and those stories always make watching the races more interesting!
I hope people can fill in these details for each boat,
with hull, engines, drives, and other interesting stuff.

Superboat BTM Marine 12 is a 2005 MTI with 750 Sterling. The boat epoxy hull with a carbon deck.
Taboo in the Superboat Vee Unlimited class started out as a Super Vee, was moved up to Unlimited in June of 07, still working out the kinks. All epoxy hull and deck, Mercury 525's with Whipple chargers making about 900hp per side with Arneson drives. Boat rigged was 7400lbs., looking for 140mph. Watch the videos of the Wed. and Fri. starts to see how it accelerates.
