Wanted Ferrari speedboat model- help with value and sale

Do you know who the manufacturer was and length? I've seen them sell for between $100-$300 on ebay.

 

I will take it...always wanted one!

Judging from the Peter Helck art book it is sitting on it's 30" long?
That's a great book, have two copies of it.

The smaller versions of the 'Arno' Hydrofoil are at least $300 (check with Lilliput Motors, they sometimes have them)
But I think the one you have is worth more.....

So, whatever...my condolences but iit looks like quite the Treasure Trove!!

 

Franco Valobra used one as a raffle prize at his last Festival here.
I did not win....

 

Looks awesome! Is it made of metal, wood, resin . . . ?

 

That's awesome! I love Mike and Frank! Well, not Frank so much. But I'll definitely watch!

 

I also had a friend that was a great candidate for the "pickers" show.

He was killed in a crash.

Took widow three years to organize the estate Sale.
A cautionary tale....


Thanks, assuming I don't have to sell a car to buy it!!

 

I also had a friend that passed and left behind a few truck loads of memorabilia behind. She just wanted everything gone, so I purchased it all from her. Very overwhelming and sad situation to go through.

 

You have PM sir!

For what it's worth...

Wow, it’s cool but I never would have guessed $6000 cool. That takes a special buyer, someone way more special than me.

 

I'd be looking all over for something that proves it's a Timossi-Ferrari Anro XI motorboat. Those are super rare.

 

The boat that you have is not the same one as sold by Ferrari. Look at the detail: real springs on the engine cover intake, metal surround at the front of the engine cover, etc. It looks more like the less expensive versions that are widely sold on the internet for just above $100-200, or it could be made from the more expensive kit made by Amati which is $600-700

Is is electric powered and radio controlled? If so, then it is the Amati version. How long is it?
If I had to guess, I would say that it is the Amativersion

 

Whenever I have had to deal with an Estate collection....I usually will get the items evaluated and appraised just to keep the relatives from eating each other. Your current price points range from $150-$5,000 for the boat. Way too much of a spread to explain to beneficiaries. There is always one relative that screams they are being ripped off by the Executor.

Early this year I was in Vietnam and their counterfeit version which was really good (markings and craftsmanship) cost $150.

 

I Googled around, as posted there are several versions..

I hope this one has no RC internals!!??

There is a small 19" version.
There are KIts, and there are Scratch Built

It appears the larger 30 or 32" version is the top $500 offering
It also apparenty come in kit and scratch built...from China.

Sigh......:/

 

Last link shows the 35" at $345.
I found the link to the one on Etsy yeaterday.

The orient has destroyed the Arno boat market!!!


All of them ship from Vietnam or China.....

 

Image Unavailable, Please Login These are my 2 that I picked up recently. One is 32 inches and the other 34...

 

I'll take the pedal car. For a reasonable sum. I'll send a PM. Branden

 

Do we know anymore about the boat? Measurements, brand etc tc?

 

Unfortunately not worth as much as it looks like it should be. Made In Vietnam. Absolute top dollar retail on these is between $600 - $800. and that is really top dollar. Above that would be auction house BS fever. You can often find these on eBay, and also buy directly from the manufacturer and its distributor for very low prices. In the $300. range....sometimes less.

I used to sell these and other hydroplane m0des through my business, but stopped due to pricing issues, and that these are now very common and can be found almost everywhere.
