68: Malibu Boats Corvette Sport-V & Benetton's Superyacht

http://www.TheBoaters.TV EP 68 -- First up: The new Malibu Corvette Limited Edition Sport-V was unveiled last Thursday, November 15th, at the 2008 Malibu Boats Dealer Meeting in Lake Tahoe, Nevada.

Based on the 2008 C6 Corvette, the hand-built Corvette Limited Edition Sport-V is said to be the fastest inboard water sports boat ever produced.

According to the Malibu Boats Official Blog, this Malibu will be available in Coupe and Z06 editions. The Z06 package includes the 512 horse power, 7.0L, LS7 engine, which pumps out 637 Nm of torque and is joined by Z06 emblems and trailer wheels in the Z06 package.

Next up: World-renowned, billionaire fashion mogul, Luciano Benetton, Got Himself a "Green" Yacht.

Luciano Benetton recently received the first ever Green Star Award at the Monaco Boat Show for his new environmentally friendly yacht Tribù.

What makes Tribù environmentally sound is the special equipment on board for treatment of waste water and rubbish, a separate collection for different types of waste aboard, and the elimination of omissions that damage the ozone.

Luciano believes that although a boat created to be eco-friendly can be costly to build, the result of a healthier environment is far more valuable in the long run.

He refers to his new 164-foot yacht, which was designed by Italian naval architecture firm, Mondomarine & SYDAC, and reputable interior designer, Piero Lissoni, as a "Land Rover ... of the deep."

Because of her health conscious design, Tribù is allowed access to all waters, even those traditionally off-limits to conventional, more-pollutant vessels.

For more information, please visit Mondomarine's website at http://www.Mondomarine.it and also see more fabulous photos of the vessel on http://www.MonacoEye.com

Nice of Benetton to be so earth friendly when he is stealing the land from the indigenous people (The Mapuche) of Argentina and Chile.. Next time your going to give credit to someone do it for someone who isn't making human rights violations against innocent people. You should be ashamed of yourself for even saying anything nice about that man.
