Does anybody have any info on the speed record from New York to Miami? I would like to know speed, boat type, engines and such.

thanks

I know Pepe from Pantera boats in a 28 ft with triples did it from Miami to New York but don't know about New York to Miami


jr mike

that was a 24' Pantera

The directoin doesn't matter to me I'm interested in any info.

I believe the boat was "Maggies Mercruiser Special", an aluminum Cougar cat. I think it was 45'. George Morales owned and drove it. I dont have the book "Searace" in front of me (I'm at work) but I think the average speed was around 80mph. This is all off the top of my head, I could be wrong....I'll check tonight.
One last thing, it was a quad engine set up.

Isn't there supposed to be a resurrection of the Miami to New York race happening this year or next?

I don't think its gona happen there was talk about it on the racers forum but it was only talk.

This has been in my favorite list for a couple of years, check it out.

Robert,

I thought Maggies New York boat was a V Hull Triple. It's been a long time, I could be mistaken. Let us know what Searace says.

As I recall, GM was not "officially" in the race. Quite a story on GM if anyone would like to elaborate.

BobK,
George did race a 46' V with triples that season, but used the cat for the record run.
