What's this? It looks awesome!
Is there anyone who can tell me more about this boat? It's build in the sixties and equiped with 4 engines. There's only one boat build.

The lines look "Classic" Levi
If you like the look of this try to locate a copy of a book called "Dhows to Deltas" covered most of Sonny Levi design concepts but been out of print for some time

Looking for info about this boat I also came across the name Sonny Levi. Also saw a Surfury website. A different boat but has the same style as this boat.

Hello Frenchphil, I've seen that website as well but that boat is definitely a different boat.
Hello BluFin, I'm going to try to find that book!

One of my earliest powerboat memories was meeting Vincenzo Balestrieri. I was very young at the time (8 or 9) and my parents had a ex race Sonny Levi Corsair. We were moored at Poole Quay when the International race was on and I remember Vincenzo Balestrieri taking a lot of time to talk to us!
I was mad keen on race boats anyway - but that really sealed it!
Seem to think he had a two boat team with him, Black Tornado and a newer Cigarette hull (yelloy) that is not shown on the website. Will have to look at my mother's photo albums when I next visit!
