Speedboats

Recently I could purchase an old program for a European speedboat GP on the "Lago di Lugano" in 1954. I hope some of you like the scans....

The boat type on the first two photos seems to have the grille of a tipo 158/9 Alfetta. Is it indeed equipped with an Alfa engine?
I heared of such a boat, but couldn't find photos.

The other two photos look like "Laura 1", but I am missing the Quadrifoglio sticker on the hood....

Maybe someone can help

Best regards
Ciao Ca

I am wondering if these old boats are just sitting around in someones barn/garage in Italy waiting for someone to come along and restore them.

That boat looks like a handful with the short back end and a big motor in the front. Bet it flew across the water!
