That's an old ski race boat that I think dodgy dan bought from someone down near me. Try 1200hp to achieve 120mph

I thought it was a yank being a left hooker!

I have seen ironing boards with a deeper V than that, not much good for good old Guernsey conditions

At least it doesn't have an engine so you don't have to worry about him having gashed it up as usual!!

What happened to that big American boat with jet drive over here ?
It looked a little like this one
It used to be brown metalic and then got sprayed white and called a drop in the ocean or something like it.
Where is it now ?
