Get your motor runnin'

Feeling lucky? Ready for a new ride on the water? You can purchase a chance to win a brand new Veloce Classico Boat at the Hank Wright Live Auction on Thursday, April 4.

The Veloce (Italian for fast) 20 is not a replica, but a brand new modern runabout in the style of the last great barrelback runabouts dating from the 1950s. Construction is right up to date with a cored composite hull and deck, but the shape and trim is pure retro, giving the look and feel we remember with nostalgia, but without the maintenance.

The boat has been donated to the Boca Grande Clinic Foundation to support the Boca Grande Health Clinic. To view the boat or make inquiries, please call Mary Anne at 964-0099. Tickets for the auction are $75 each.
