George Morales set it at about 17 hours back in 1984 During the Miami- NY race. I think The Gentry Trans Atlantic boat and maybe Fabio Buzzi also took shots at it.

I forgot about George Morales, didn't Dr. Bob Magoon hold the record in a Cigarette before George Morales? When was that? I was a kid when he did that.

And didn't Pepe Nunez, Pantera Boats, set the record for an outboard boat (Miami to NYC)? Does that record still stand?

I am not sure of the exact time. As I recall it was between 17 and 18 hours and the Popeye's 45' Vee Cougar did it in about 20 hours during the same race. Morales did it in a 48' foot 4 engine aluminum Cougar Cat. His normal Mercruiser Race engines were detuned for the run...... and a Radar arch was installed on the boat along with appropriate electronics. He refueled at sea and the seas were relatively calm on both sides of Cape Hatteras (north and South) an unusual circumstance........

A friend of mine rode on that run with Morales and said one of the 4 engines used 1 Qt of Oil the whole run. Big Al finished 58 Minutes behind in Morales old boat,Must be something to those Santera ribbons George wore. I walked out of my shop that morning and it was like the world stopped ,no wind nothing unreal day for Miami.

As I remember Pepe got a little worried your dad might got close to his record.
