Highlights Show | 2022 Class 1 Cocoa Beach Grand Prix 

I'm in Ontario. I watch from the other side of the river. I'll come across the US side maybe next year. This year we're being forced to use a Canadian Gov arrival app.

I’ll be there !

Battery would sink the boat at the dock.

It suffers same as other racng forms....organizers think the weekend is ABOUT the race. It's about the party.

@@SuperChuckRaney to many egos, two many classes, to confusing.

@@PaddleDogC5 To many teams where the money pocket is larger than the brain pocket.

No return on investment, network tv and prize money. 4 mile course is not offshore powerboat racing.

The 2008 recession, Fountain going out of business and Dave Scott and Budweiser leaving all around the same time really killed it for awhile. After that turbine class folded and people started racing the same hulls for years with a lot of people buying old Victory copies of the Callans instead of seeing new designs every few years. The Big MTI 48/52s and the Mystic C500r were the last big race cats designed as far as I know and both were over a decade ago. This isn't some much of a sport as it as a very rich mans idea of a fun weekend. The drivers are typically the owners and throttlemen hired guns so the status of the sport has far more to do with the status of the business than most.

Yeah buddy we would bring the jet skis out lido beach And tear it up

She has been bought and rebranded/renamed as Husky Chocolate., So she is still there just looks different. 👍

This was last year.

Sea Senator.

ORR SI, SENORITA?.

You just watched it tho ? That’s the huski boat

It’s a DOHC 9liter twin turbo v8 made my mercury that produces 1100hp that’s running at 8500/9k rpm’s for literally hours… On a surface that is constantly changing. The force from Landing back in the water. Things break. There’s not one common or few common things. Things can’t handle the physical stress and pressure the water makes. Then running at 7k rpm’s for 4 hours. Much much different then road racing, drag racing. Literally nothing compares to offshore and hydroplane racing. Absolutely nothing.

There hittin 150 in the straights. Super cat class is hittin 130 with there twin 750s

@@jessemilstead810 Make no mistake about it - these boats are bad mohambi-jambees - and it takes guts to hurdle across heavy chop with AUTHORITY! I don't appriciate it when a professional commentator does not know the topic they are commentating on. It's not professiuonal in the least, and it's disrespectful of the sport. I do my utmost to either know enough about a topic to comment on it, or keep my offerings phrased as questions offered toward someone I know has a solid track-record that has a result that is undeniable. One thing that is awesome is, there are a LOT of really AWESOME KINDS of RACING!

Class 1 top speed record is 273 km/h

Try that on the ocean.

And actually I made a mistake it's 276 not 273

Your a joke😂

It's an industry with no profits for the boat owners..everything is paid out of pocket

🤡

Literally like he first year back for class 1… There isn’t going to be a lot of boat the first year. Never is for new classes. Also if 5 boats is such a problem for you then why don’t go get yourself 40-50ft cat with surface drives and 1100 mercs… Lmk how it feels dropping the 800k at least on just the boat and engines. That’s not a new boat either. Better get a second set of motors. The truck to haul it.

You obviously have no clue what you’re talking about! Do you actually know what it takes to own a boat how much it cost to maintain these ships? Obviously not.
