Superboat around Long Island
 

Has anyone heard of the challenge they are going to do in a 30' CC? Just saw an article about it today in LI Boaters World. Plan is to take a 30' CC with a 300 SF Suzuki and race it around long island. Article said they will top of the tanks, take the boat around LI (about 5-7 hours estimated), then fill the tanks when they get back to see how much gas was used. Article said the goal is to show how a boat can have performance and be economical on gas/green in the process. The starting point will be Aqua Marine.

Sounds like an interesting challenge!

Maybe they could use some 'escort' Superboats along the way

Yes, i think Jeff/Feezeframe will be shooting it from a chopper.

elvisali, I know Aqua Marine is a Superboat and a Suzuki dealer. I guess thats why Aqua Marine is the starting point.

Freeze Frame Will shoot It For John

Sounds cool!

I can squeeze 5 hours out of a tank but 7 would be tough.

Interesting. Can you post dates, any details? How many miles would that be?

DId anyone hear if they did this already, or when they were going to do it?
