This boat is sex on the water...the Pininfarina-designed Magnum 80. Not as big as a megayacht nor as agile as a lightweight speedboat, but IMO it's the most beautiful powerboat on the water, it runs with twin 2000hp engines on the base package, and will top out at nearly 80mph with the top engine package. Plus, there'd be nothing as intimidating as rolling up to the harbor in one of these...think a Cigarette or a Riva but twice as large.
It's price on request, as the interior and drivetrain and sorts are quite customizable. I'd say somewhere in the seven figures.
Love it but I want this instead. Callan Racing - 43' Tencara Offshore CAT The new standard by which Unlimited+ Power CATs will be judged. LOA: 43' Beam: 12' Weight: 9000 lbs.

Meh, it's kind of dumb. If it were 1/3 - 1/2 of it's current size I'd be more impressed. As it stands they've got an 80 foot boat making very poor use of space.
http://www.wellandcanal.ca/shiparc/cruiseships/marinestar/star.htm your aquarama sir, atleast it was the aquarama at one time, currently the marine star, soon to be scrapped.
Yeah, those turbine-powered catamarans can reach absurd speeds. You can buy an open-roof "pedestrian" one from Skater that will do 180+.....a racing model like that will go even faster.
im sure no vivilian model will go 180 mph plus, that is close to last years world record top speeds at the Lake of The Ozarks Rescue Shootout for the unlimited class.
