    What about the cabin on it?
    Empty as they did not have time to complete it. The empty engine room and the underside of the hatch are impressive as they are now.

    I agree.
    That is the nicest looking boat I've seen in years.
    Just curious about the final details.

    I'm sure he buys plenty of Bud Lights to put on his CC.

    I spent a lot of time with them. Your boat would be awesome with one of their engines on it.

    Paul.....Sorry I had to be back on the west coast of Florida for a TV and newspaper interview on the original ..The Cigarette... the 233 Formula that was Aronow's first race boat from his own boat company.

    It was done by Terry Tomalin, who was the editor of Powerboat magazine during the 90's and is now a sports wirter for the Tampa Bay Times and does an outdoor TV program for ABC news.

    Trying to keep HORBA alive and well and still appreciate the new stuff at the same time.

    This boat looks better now than when it was brand new. They let me drive it to our lunch stop at the Vinoy hotel in St Petersburg. Nice chop on Tampa Bay as I was able to air it out without steps LOL.

    Yes, that was the basis for the coverage. It was 50 years ago that Don who had sold this boat to George Peroni, asked to borrow it for a couple of days and had a friend of his arrange for the Beatles to take a ride. Michael Aronow took the photo that has been seen everywhere. Michael said only Ringo was really happy with the ride the other three were whiter when they returned than when they left.

    We,will have to plan on another happening to meet up Paul...maybe LOTO.
