There was a film called "Thunderboat Row" based on Don's story shown on Channel four a few years ago.
Unfortunately my VHS copy got wrecked
They are supposed to be making a new film of his life..............

I've seen the Thunderboat row documentary too it was made by the American tv series A&E documentarys.I searched for a long time before i came across it in the video section of a website called www.offshoreonly.com a few months ago.
Anyone come across `Smugglers & Speedboats` - The Don Aronow story.
46mins A&E Job.Has a lot of interviews in it inc Richie Powers,Allan Brown etc.
I had one as a freebie for splashing the cash on some yank raceboat dvds.
