Default lost build log !! please help

I found a build log about 6 months ago and can't find it again . I will tell you what i remember but please excuse me if i get the terms wrong as i know little about things that float .

- the builder was German
- the boat was about 150 cm long
- i think it was a tunnel hull
- twin brushless
- it had at least 4 lipo batteries
- i think he made everything but the hull
- just about everything was machined by him or made from carbon fibre that he laid himself .
- motor mounts were machined in a lattice style from a solid block of aluminum then carbon fibre inlaid
- batterie cases were carbon fibre
- the paint work i think included playing cards
- the primary colors of the paint were red and gold
- the boats name may have had something to do with gambling (it wasn't Miss Vegas )
- he had three or four other boats of varying sizes that used the same name and paint design
- it was on the cover of a magazine about rc boats

The guy that made the boat was a perfectionist and a gifted craftsman . I've got a retired uncle who was a machinist and toolmaker who is ill at present and i know he would love reading this log if i can find it .

Thanks
