Bacchus66 3 #8 Posted August 14 A beautiful red Ferrari shark that goes 150 mph? On the water! Sign me up! Oh wait, there's that minor technical detail of the "millions" it would take to buy it. I have a hard time imagining ever being in a situation where I'd be willing to sell that if I happened to own it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SloopJonB 4,404 #15 Posted August 15 That's a tow boat FFS. Those things are propped down to about 40 MPH. If it isn't fast enough to smuggle coke with it then you shouldn't call it a "Corvette" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Morgan Crewed 25 #19 Posted August 17 Want more boats with a car theme? Try Gar Wood's Miss America X powered by four, supercharged V-12 Packard engines. Built in 1931 it was the first boat to hit 120 mph and in 1932 set a worlds speed record of 124.9 mph. Depending on boost and fuel mix used the each engine can put out between 1600 and 2000 HP. It is the 38' long of some of the nicest mahogany you'll ever see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
