Worrisit?

Worrever it is, I presume the gear boxes are mounted forward of the engines, or judging where the shafts appear out of the hull the engines would be in the bow!

Looks a lot like the old Riva Aquarama. If I recall, those used to cost £100,000 each, back in 1985. Twin 400hp, good for 50 knots. Though, with those looks, one wants to go slowly enough to be properly seen...
