Pretty cool, I guess if you have the money you can do pretty much anything. At least this boat has the numbers to back up its looks

The cigarette one is definitely nice! I think what caught my eye with the MTI rig is the interior...the gauges and seats, steering wheel are all MB/McLaren

I have done 132mph in an open boat: an 34' Eliminator, I can only imagine what 190 mph feels on the water. Don't think I wanne be in that boat.

Sounds like an opportunity to enter a low earth orbit.
