Xtreme Powerboats New Dealer for Spectre Offshore Performance

In an effort to bring more attention to its Spectre 35CC models in Southeast Florida,  Spectre Offshore Performance Marine  owner Jay Pilini announced he is teaming with former racing rival Larry Goldman of  Xtreme Powerboats  in Miami. Goldman, who has found success selling the new 42V center console from  Marine Technology Inc. , as well as the Wentzville, Mo., company’s high-performance catamarans, is excited about the opportunity to offer the new 35-foot center consoles from the Clearwater, Fla., builder.

“I’ve always respected Jay and what he’s done with his business,” Goldman told speedonthewater.com at the poker run village during the  Florida Powerboat Club  Key West Poker Run. “It’s kind of funny because we were always rivals in the ’90s and early 2000s when I raced Motion catamarans, and now I’m coming to him and wanting to sell his boat. Jay and his Spectre cats were always the toughest competition. It’s hard to believe that almost a decade has past since those days, but here we are, and Jay builds a quality boat for an affordable price.

“The 35CC is a great boat when you consider you can get into it for less than $200,000,” continued Goldman, who is joining a list of Spectre dealers that includes  Agles Motorsports  in Cape Coral, Fla.,  Thunder Marine  in St. Petersburg, Fla.,  ProTechnologies  in Brick, N.J., and  MDG Performance Marine  in Edgewater, Md. “It’s going to be a challenge bringing the boat over to the East Coast because there are so many good builders over here—it’s a very competitive market for sure. But we have some ideas and we have some clients who want to get into a performance center console but aren’t ready or don’t have half-a-million dollars to spend on the ultimate luxury center console from  MTI .”

When discussing the new 35-footer, which he said can be built with endless options, from the poker run village, Pilini described the boat as efficient with predictable handling thanks to its non-stepped bottom. He also said the boat with twin Mercury  Verado 300s tops out around 63 mph and cruises at 46 mph while consuming a friendly 1.6 mpg. All of those are factors he said gives people a chance to get on the water without breaking the bank.

Although he doesn’t plan on building any catamarans in the near future, Pilini did say that the next boat from Spectre would most likely be a larger center console model. “We’ll probably go up to a 39- or 40-footer, but for now we still have a lot of upgrades we want to do with the 35 before we jump up to the bigger stuff.”

‘Total Disgrace’: Anger, Frustration as Mass Heating Failures Across Russia Leave Thousands in the Cold

P ODOLSK, Moscow region – Residents throughout Russia affected by unprecedented winter heating outages in recent days have expressed their frustration and urged local authorities to restore heating in their homes.

In Podolsk, a town some 30 kilometers south of the capital Moscow, at least 149,000 residents — nearly half of its population — were left without heating when a heating main burst at a nearby private ammunition plant.

“It’s a total disgrace. There is no heating and no hot water. We have to sleep in sleeping bags,” Yuri, a local resident, told The Moscow Times.

“I have no words to describe how bad the situation is," said Yuri, who declined to provide his surname. "We have had no heating for almost six days."

Heating issues have affected residents in the Moscow region, where temperatures have plunged to as low as minus 20 degrees Celsius in the past week, as well as people in the Far East Primorye region , the cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg , Penza , the southern Voronezh and Volgograd regions and more.

In the Tver region, a group of residents filmed an appeal to President Vladimir Putin, saying that they “are freezing from the cold” in the village of Novozavidovsky.

“We're literally being killed by the cold,” a woman in the video said, adding that they have been sending requests to local authorities since September after their houses were connected to a boiler room whose power was reportedly insufficient.

“This is some kind of torture and extermination of the population 100 kilometers from Moscow,” she added.

Residents of the Moscow region town of Elektrostal lit a fire in the street to draw the authorities’ attention to the heating problem.

“It’s impossible to stay in our houses. We're freezing!” a group of women in the video said.

Suffering from subzero temperatures, residents are placing the blame on local authorities and utility services for failing to take necessary precautions and not taking action to resolve the situation.

“We are sending complaints everywhere but no one listens to us. We have portable heaters working in every room, but the temperature inside is still 10 degrees Celsius,” Yelena from Podolsk said.

“There is a clinic and a hospital, as well as kindergartens, where there is no heating. And we have no answers, no assistance, no explanation,” Yelena added.

Podolsk authorities opened temporary heating centers and declared a state of emergency.

Local authorities linked the heating problems to the fact that the town is heated by a boiler plant owned by the Klimovsk Specialized Ammunition Plant, a private ammunition factory and one of the largest weapon cartridge production enterprises in the country.

“The facility is under tight security conditions, which limits our ability to oversee winter preparations,” the Moscow region’s Vice Governor Yevgeny Khromushin said last week. “We were unaware of the problem for nearly a day.”

An unidentified Moscow region official and two senior executives at the plant were arrested on suspicion of providing unsafe services, Russia’s Investigative Committee, which probes major crimes, said in a statement Tuesday.

Investigators said that Podolsk’s deputy mayor was accused of misusing authority by issuing a readiness certificate for the boiler house at the plant.

In the neighboring Tver region, the authorities opened a criminal case over the laundering of over 84 million rubles ($938,993) in heating bills paid by residents, the Astra Telegram channel reported this week, citing unidentified sources. According to investigators, the heads of the local water intake and boiler house misappropriated the heating payments for personal use.

Reacting to the heating failures, Putin on Tuesday asked Emergency Situations Minister Alexander Kurenkov to provide heat and electricity to the affected residents.

The outages appear to be the latest effect of several decades of crumbling infrastructure in Russia which have been linked to endemic corruption and mismanagement.

The overall decay of Russia's municipal infrastructure surpassed 70% in 2022, the pro-Kremlin newspaper Izvestia reported .

According to Sergei Pakhomov, head of the State Duma’s Construction, Housing and Utilities Committee, water pipes that were 90 years old or even older were still in use as recently as two years ago in some cases.

Housing, utilities and communal services are a common source of problems for Russians during the winter.

In St. Petersburg, residents regularly complain about extensive ice coverage on city streets and sidewalks, with many people ending up in the hospital over the years due to slipping and falling accidents.

In the Siberian republic of Khakassia, two villages were left without electricity last month due to apparent issues with outdated communication systems.

In the winter of 2020, five people in the Perm region were killed after a pipe burst.

When asked about the latest heating outages, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov acknowledged the problems and linked them to poor municipal infrastructure, saying that people “had to endure a lot of inconvenience in the cold and without electricity.”

"Despite all the titanic efforts to update all housing and communal services systems, there's still a certain part that remains considerably deteriorated. These programs will continue, but it is impossible to update all pipes and all housing and communal services systems in 10-15 years,” Peskov said.

As for now, residents affected by heating issues appear to lack optimism that the problems will be solved efficiently.

"It's been a week since we've had heating, and the temperature in my apartment is around 11 degrees Celsius,” Podolsk resident Lidiya told The Moscow Times.

“Unfortunately, no one knows when it will be repaired,” she added.
