Really?? What year, what boat and how long did it take him?

No refueling between stops?

That rules out using the 13 footer

Glad to hear it is go though!!!

19h 17m in the 112' Gentry Eagle (11,500hp). It was around 1989. I think the record still stands.

Anyone feel like sopnsoring a 42' Sport Fish?
All it will take is the purchace of a pair of 3000hp MTU's.
We'll be there in no time with the blender churning the whole way!

Hey Ron.
Aside of volenteering as a driver for almost any boat (sorry Sharkey, I like my kidneys right where they are LOL), if you need any check point boats off NY or NJ, let me know.
Depending on when it is going to be, I could be anywhere on the east coast.
I plan on running up from FL in May & back down the first part of October.

DJD, I might just take you up on that offer. Please PM me with your email address so I can add you to the email list.

Joe how long did it take your father in that boat and did they fuel at sea or did they have stops in harbors along the way. Also how big was his gas tank? I only wish we could try this. I know we wouldnt have a shot of winning with only one class but it would be something to talk about for the rest of your life and be proud of.

Proud? Hell yes!!!! It took me 42hrs and change. Remember, no GPS at the time, we had charts and an RDF and two compasses that I forgot to get the swung! We spent the first night aground in North Carolinas Intracoastal waterways, The weather had changed on us, and we made better time inside even thou it is longer. The fuel stops were planned inland, we carried about 300 gallons of fuel, remember the 24 Pantera is a narrow beam boat. That run I will cherish for the rest of my life! Later, Pepe @ pantera boats.

Pepe,
Were'nt the outboards the first of the 200 horse engines that Mercury produced?
If I'm not mistaken, your record still stands today as the fastest "Outboard" to make this run.

You the man Pepe!!!!
