And when they get hard you can still eat'em!

thanks! it was fun to film, fun to edit and fun to watch!

new 450R class is great!

@@ZipZapPower yeah, I’m wondering if those racing outboards are as fast as the boats with inboards?? They can’t be, can they??

They’re cool. I’ll stick with my Porsche

@@kevinvoisine1922 yeah. Nothing more lame than having to plan a whole day around driving the boat to water etc

Thank you for the kind words, makes all the expense and effort worthwhile!

you're welcome! its fun to be there and catch all the action!

you're welcome! go get it!

That sound... it's glorious! If it's in the Super Stock class, they should be 300xs. But, they change rules and classes all the time... It's symphonic!

do it! it is an amazing week, Florida Powerboat Club, the races, the street parties, it is wild!

Thanks!

If it was, you would see the world " DUDE " On the side of the boat about 28 times.

Great but I didn’t know Lobsters 🦞 were that fast. Haaa old guy joke.

At 8:48 That v bottom was hit by another boat. The shocker boat spun out in front of octane and hit them.

Thats why technology gives us interior cameras to literally watch them drive.

Can’t say much for other boats but 2 525hp motors. Our breakout speed was 95, if we went over that for more than 3 seconds we would be disqualified. You can see us at 9:28 . We averaged ~93mph over the whole race. It was supposed to be 3 races but Wednesday got canceled because the cats can’t handle a little wind and on Friday on the 4th lap we had the transmission destroy itself. Didn’t have the ability to fix it for the Sunday race. In our class there was 3 other boats and we all raced at the same time against each other. Unfortunately the start was botched and instead of lining up the green flag was dropped with us about a mile behind our class. I think it was 4 or 5 mile laps I don’t remember. It’s a shame there were no cameras out in the ocean side because most videos start where this one does and that’s where the water calmed down. Out in the ocean I felt like I was in an airplane. We made it to 3rd place before the boat broke and then got a dnf. Better luck next year lmao.

I think a hybrid version.?

literally!

Key West

@@ZipZapPower do you know when the next event is yhere

@@nickmarino2033 next November

Porsche turbo s would sink at the ramp

Plan on buying one? Call your neighborhood boat builder

There’s a reason for that. It’s because there’s very little to no demand for this type of sport.

Good.

Monster Energy just signed a deal with M-Con before the race and Celsius signed with Pro-floors as well right before the race, seems like some real money may be coming in to the sport now.

I've been watching this sport since the early 1980s..the only real money I ever saw was...Drug/Cocaine $$$..after all The Dope Traffickers disappeared...The sport went down hill n its never Recuperated again

What about the distance? Can they carry enough fuel to go the distance at that speed?
