its down to the running surface of the boat being less that tip to stern or something lol
and the boat looks well rigged, nice engines, and the hull. hmmm
wouldnt the money have been better spent on a bernico or cyclone, or force or ring or phantom though
i might be missing something though as im still a young'un

People don't half make a few things up!!! I know for a fact Kim Lumley has been clocked at over 100mph on a water ski and her boat has over 1000hp to do that!
the boat don't look 25 ft but sometimes pics are decieving!
plus its got hand throttles which are band in ski racing!

It looks like one of the race decked Arrowbolts Norman Flether built for Andy and Stephen Coe. One of those was yellow.

I dont think its 25ft either!

Its read as a 450hp engine! The ebayer needs to be told there's 2 motors on the back.

The hull looks like its from the 70s thou still looks very fast machine!
