Wow, I wish we would have been there to see the F1 race, 1 second separated the two boats!!!

Bummer my guys did not win, but folks lets not kid ourselves the LaveyCraft is a boat and team to be dealt with. To bad there were not more F1 running though.

DeFrees, Harris win at Marathon powerboat races

Associated Press

MARATHON, Fla. - Powerboat racers Michael DeFrees and Jeff Harris piloted Team CRC to a victory Saturday at the Marathon Offshore Gran Prix in the Florida Keys.

DeFrees, of Vancouver, Wash., drove at an average speed of 94.24 mph over the course opposite the old Seven Mile Bridge along the Overseas Highway in the Keys.

"Given this is a brand new boat, right out of the box, I'm extremely happy," DeFrees said of the Outlaw Performance I-class victory. "We did our homework."

DeFrees said the key to victory for his 39-foot catamaran, with two 530 horsepower engines, was quick navigation of seven turns on during seven laps on the 5-mile course. Harris, of Greenville, N.C., served as the throttleman.

"There's only one long straight-away, so we had to set up for fast acceleration out of the corners," DeFrees said. "We wanted to get our competition down before they got to the corner and then be set up for the straight-away the best we could."

Racing at the inaugural event of the 2004 American Power Boat Association's national offshore racing season continues Sunday.
