What was their record time?

Love these long distance challenges.

I left Miami on August 18, 1978 in a 24' Pantera w/ 2 Mercury outboards.
It took 42 hrs.
NO GPS or radars etc.
I had 2 compasses, "most" of the charts, an RDF and a VHF radio. Plus the desire to get to New York!
Long story!

Holly sh$t 42 hour's that's a love for boating

man... i would love to hear that story over a couple of beers!!!

just don't forget the cigar's

that had to take some huge BRASS!!! even with todays technology it cant be an easy task. hats off!!

Most of us dont even know what an RDF is, I spent 2 hours in mine in ruff water last weekend, and that was enuff, 42 must have been insane.

Ralph at TNT...right Jo? Great guy! When I picked up my 24 there, he was really checking it out. Good people.

For an encore, I would like to set a Miami to Bermuda to New York in a 41' pantera w/ triple O/B's or maybe Diesel I/O.
That would be a record!

maybe its just a dream......
