Anybody have seen this boat ?
Sportscar racer and businessman Massimiliano Ferrari will race in the 2007 Powerboat P1 World Championship, competing for Evolution Class honours with an American-built Skater 399 powered by Mercury Marine Racing engines.
For several years Ferrari has maintained close ties with Powerboat P1 and, with this announcement, his racing plans are finally complete. The Skater Racing Team represents a significant entry into the P1 fraternity in the quality of the boat, pilots and back-up infrastructure. The team's progress will be one of the most eagerly observed during the season on more than one level; a strong pilot line-up, royal blood and celebrities, in a racing boat built by one of the marine industry's top boat manufacturers. Lorenzo Quadri, owner of 'Quadri Racing' in Geneva, Switzerland, is supplying the engines and technical equipment and, already, the 40ft boat has a 'Hollywood' pedigree, having been used in the United States by Columbia Pictures to advertise the 'Spiderman' movie.
