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.

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........
