Wouldn't that be some great offshore race! The water size in Atlantic City 2010 would be perfect! Apache Heritage with some modern Mercury Racing 1350's & M8 drives (Richie Powers & the original crew would be the best!) A 46 race Skater with the same power ( Jim "Freedom US1" & crew would be the best choice!) And of course Fabio Buzzi in his diesel monster! Now that's real Offshore Racing with the top guys!.....

There has to be some footage of the cats and vees racing together in rough water. At some point, someone has to pass something. How about the Miami to Bimini race? That can usually provide some entertainment.
But in reality, with extremely rough conditions, it has to be about the crew. (and the punishment they are willing to endure):eek: There's a huge difference between running fast in rougher water, and running "Comfortably" in it. Being the best rough water boat doesn't equate to being the fastest from point A to point B. |

I doubt more than 2-3 people realistically would have wanted to run in that water. So for the other 300,450,000 people, it doesn't matter :party-smiley-004:
That's pretty rough water in the vid. Maybe not the worst, but pretty darn bad. Perhaps we need to break this down by feet and average speed. Say, what boat can go over 65 mph in 20 to 30 footers? It would make for an exciting video, but little else. Perhaps broken bones or concussions would be a better guide? |
