I think Morales is still alive today and has changed his identity to Ozzie Guillen.

The 46 v-bottem was on e-bay 2 weeks ago. Looked fresh and was bidding at around 55k when I left for Chorpus. Listed as having 3 blown kieth eikerts and #5's. Still bright yellow with 10 on the side and popeyes graphics. I was definitly tempted.

I remember something about the race to N.Y. being put together so geo. could show where the money to pay his taxes came from.....entry fee was high..........very high........m.m..........

Great old thread that someone brought to life again...

Here's a picture worth 1000 words to put a face with the earlier story!

Boat was looking good when it went to Japan. Where is it now?!

Before the race, George was doing his best to get into Al's head. He came out and said he knew he'd be victorious as he wouldn't be wasing time running into harbors for fuel. He was going to do aerial refueling on the fly with helicopters. Even though ridiculously implausible, I don't think anyone was willing to doubt it entirely.

The monohull was called Mercruiser Special and the cat was Maggie’s Mercruiser Special, the picture attached is from the first test run on the intercoastal down by Haulover before the Key West race.

Sorry had to change the format
