I've seen that boat, top notch! He also has a 120 motor yacht and a friend of mine works onboard as chef.
Then I have probably met him.
I beleive the Hilarium is just shy of 150'. I'll add pictures of that too.

I have a customer who owns a similar size and vintage Trumpy in perfect condition. I'm sure I've got some pictures around here somewhere.

No kidding. The low pulling this thing in caused more problems than the storm it self.

We are North of Ft Myers and South of Sarasota. I spent all day helping neighbors secure their boats and property. Tomorrow, after the morning forecast, I'll secure the house and boats. I have a golf cart out on Little Gasparilla Island that I assume will be destroyed with the estimated 7 ft storm s...

The Pacemaker may have a monel fuel tank which is a plus but that is an early 1970's when they where still figuring out how to use fiberglass. The 251 Chris Craft is OK too.

Its been done. One seller on Craigslist several years ago claimed 50+mph with and Armstrong bracket and two 200hp outboards. Boat was in the upper keys. I did see the boat but the engines had been sold.
