“According to the German name of the set (Schmuggler Speedboot), the crew is composed of smugglers. This might be a reference to the Town set 6563 Gator Landing, which plane had the same color scheme. In Germany the set was called "Schmuggler-Versteck" (smugglers' hideout).”

“This sleek, fast-looking speedboat from the Classic Town theme features a robust and compact design, ideal for play. Its standout features include a powerful V12 motor, stylish ailerons, and clever storage for smuggled items, adding to its intrigue. While the minifigures are fairly basic, the set delivers strong construction and excellent playability.”
