I'm sure he'll sleep more easily in that knowledge.
I personally have always prefered a quiet boat, stealth.
Swipewipes runs through-hub exhausts for the same reason.
We always wanted to run the T boat with through hub exhaust, but it was too restrictive in that particular case.

Jon,
I know that you don't like me.
Posts like that are dull.
I expect better from a future "Tony Needell" of Offshore Racing.

I thought it factual.
You can 'expect' what you like.

I've encoded and uploaded the two DVD's he gave me, one a promotional film for FB Design, the other a Yank history of powerboating, both pretty good!

I went to FB design +- 3 months ago,I needed two ZF 2 speed gearboxes that they had for sale at FB.
They were very nice to us ,took us for a factory tour ,Mr Buzzi was not at the factory at that time,but a very nice guy called Mario showed us the plant.
I was impressed how clean and nice the working area was ,his office is state of the art ,inside and out

I'm not sure to be honest. I asked Fabio that very question (as we ripped up the lake at 60mph) and he said yes, but he was 'tollerated' because of the company and I guess the revenue & work that he/the company brings to the area. however, that might have just been talk.

There used to only be speed limits near the sea plane landing strip but I think things have changed recently. It's been too long since the last Giro.

Following a request by new member 'Cnooc' to view the Buzzi video, which hasn't been on the gallery server since the move a couple of years ago, here it is. not the best quality, so I might re-encode it when I get a chance (original is pretty good)
Will also do the 2nd one (Power Racers) given to me by Fabio shortly.
