...home-built craft powered by a 450-h.p. sports-car engine. "I wanted a hot boat,'' said its owner. "This engine was souped up until it can't be no more without blowing up." Near by cruised a soft, inboard on whose stern was mounted a mink-lined doghouse, home for the pink toy poodle of its master's pink-haired wife...
