Powerboat P1 announced that it is reviving a historic ocean event, The Gateway Marathon, which will see boats make a two-way crossing of the Straits of Florida from West Palm Beach to Freeport in The Bahamas in early June.

That's discrimination!!! Vee Hulls only??? Is that so that Lucas Oil actually has a chance?? They're tired of the red pool topedo getting spanked on the race course by the kitty cats??

Though I agree cats should be included, in the last long distance race LUCUS entered there was only one CAT that beat them. The Trinidad to Tobago race 2018. I wish they would have put spec class motors in that boat and raced against other V hulls so that it would at least be a chance but its their money. Seems strange to always run against Cats with more power, not much of a way to be able to beat that.

Planning for this year's Ocean Cup 2020 Gateway Marathon is underway.
Lots of interest from Trinidad so there just might be another match up between Motul Monster and Lucas Oil !
