Although Chris Uzzolina, a longtime powerboat owner and BMW technician in Charlotte, N.C., admits with a chuckle that he may have been "a little off" in his estimated completion date of May 2013 for the restoration of his 23-foot 1986 Chaparral Villain III sportboat—he expected the project to take three months and his boat to be ready for the summer—the project is still moving forward. And while he long ago abandoned his initial plan for the boat to actually reach 100 mph (the early name for the project raised enough eyebrows to stick), he's still excited about the project.
