Key West Offshore Racing.. Against the Odds
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 гру 2014
- The 2014 Key West Offshore Racing World Championships proved to be one of the most exciting in history with a combined total of 9 unlimited class offshore boats competing for the Holy Grail of Offshore Racing. The Unlimited Class Championship trophy and the bragging rights that your team is the fastest offshore racing team in the world. These exotic machines are packing 3-4 thousand horsepower in lightweight ocean racing hulls are capable of speeds in excess of 200mph and accelerate at breathtaking speeds.
The race is a week long event made up of 3 races and 3 test days racking up over 160 miles of full speed offshore racing action. Staying in the points race and maintaining a healthy fast boat are the keys to success. As the saying goes....To be the best...you must win in Key West.
Miss Geico was down in the points due to some technical challenges the first two events and needed some good luck and a big win on Sundays rough race. with rain forecasted and winds at 20 knots Team USA was determined to show the world what she was made of...and thats what she delivered - Спорт
To this day one of the most recognized Offshore Powerboats in the World was Miss Geico with it's beautiful Chartreuse Paint job. It is a shame that Geico quit its Sponsorship of the Miss Geico Offshore as it was always the Show Stopper where ever they went and to me, got the name Geico Insurance out there better then anything that they had as advertisement and you could also add their Rigs in there also. ❤👍👍
It's great to have a vid not ruined by a lame soundtrack, the boat does the talking
you didn't watch the whole thing. there is a very bad sound track toward end
Spoke too soon didn't watch while video obviously.
Marc, Congrats to you and Scotty for a well fought race! As Spectators yall gave us quite a show man! It was AWESOME watching yall win this year! WELL DONE! I even got my own pic of that jump with my Telephoto lens all the way from Truman Annex!
Congrats Marc, Scott, and Team Geico!
Unfair :-) The best boat with the best crew .... There are no enemies :-)
Love the Boat and THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS. Great Vid!
Perfect dive Marc you are the best , I loved the fly over and really I feel sorry for the water you killed it, congratulations from hobby moe a big fan of you and your Geico team.
Yea they are great, i am a big fan also and i got to sit in one of their turbine boats once hehe
Congrats on the win! Marc and Scott know how to race!
great video, congrats to friends Scotty and Mark for another World Championship!
Congrat! Best Boot on Earth! Best Crew!
no need for music man....seem like no one understand that the sound of the engines is what we want to hear..thats it..
You can't really hear the engines. It's wind. (Except for the one shot in the engine room.)
Did you watch the whole video? Pretty sure there was music that boring people love to hate
@@Mahalo_83 Gay music. Gay
Those engines need to be overhauled every week.
Agreed the music to my ears is the engines that’s all the sound I need
I Like it. I like it a lot. I would love to drive that boat once on a flat glassy humid Gulf of Mexico day in Texas waters. Beautiful Boat.
Well there isn't any cold water it's the Gulf of Mexico dude. And there is never a dry day here.
Superb, thanks for sharing
you are the best team. congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Miss Geico is back WOOO Rock on!
Terry
I was at that race, Geico spanked the competition.See you in 4 weeks
Loved it !!
My not really uncle used to race these boats an I used to sit in them when i was like 8yrs old lol that was fun being back there being "part of the crew" lol
This looks bad ass!
Loved the music!
Well put together. Hope your doing well Marc.
Man that's got to be hard on the body.... Man and machine...
Sick vid 👌🏻
Awesome!!! Super Duper!!!!
Scary speeds and excellent watching - Congrats Sir, keep it up.
Is the mask an emergency supply of air in case of an accident?
awesome!!!!
Wish I could own one of these real ones❤️I do have every Pro Boat Rc version of your boats and have been racing them for years for fun and hobby👍💪Best Hull Made for RC racing is the MG 36 twin Cat❤️
What's the matter music. Boat is perfect, guys are professional.
My job has taken me to the edge to don't be afraid to look over now and again live life to the max. Push the envelope.
Que monstruo ese bote,me gusta,me hace recordar cuando manejaba algunos botes
Was there also great racing big water!
Inside box engine, what great and polished ambient. The sound of technology is at his 🔝. I LIKE IT‼️ SO STRONG, SO POWERFUL.
Only the pure sound. 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚤
This is the perfection. 😌
🧠
Music : suck!
pretty f en awesome!!
Miss Geico music to my ears
터빈엔진 인가요? 매우 조용하군요. 그리고 V 헐 보다는 확실히 트윈 쌍동 선체 구조가 파도에 대한 조파 저항과 롤 움직에 대한 안정성이 확실히 뛰어나군요. 주행 영상을 보니까..
Would've been a great video without the music.
Are we related?
I came here to say the same thing.
Watch for more than 49 seconds
Ms. Geico was getting some sirious air
Awesome
Well done guys, no spins, no tangles. Looks like there was just as much air time as there was warter.
Wow, pilots look like the boat is beating the crap out of them!
High speed boat action and this is the best music you can come up with?
Get rid of the lame music.
Damn that motor screaming
Seen this boat in real life insane boat
20 seconds is all I could take of that garbage music
Are you guys involved with the miss geico sea-doo jet ski that is built with a turbocharger??
Even with suspension seats their kidneys are taking a beating
What a sloppy, snotty, nasty day, and Marc makes it look like a walk in the park
which racing is better hydroplane or powerboat
2:00 Włączyłeś to Maciek? :)
19 Turbine lovers die. Nothing like the sound of a blower (turbo) motor cranking at about 7 grand! Awesome video, hope this team takes the cake this or next year.
scotty b kicks ass
I remember you from way back. Back when you owned a BAJA. 33 Outlaw if I remember correctly
3:23, looks like trying to tow an RV on Interstate 65 🤣
I was trippin, HOW DID THIS RAVE GET ON ? " WHERE IS THE VIDEO I WAS WATCHING ?" WTF ? , then it came back on with, " THAT AIR TIME YEA GET THERE !"
Great Video but why put music on it. ???
Jim Ball yeah, the music sucked so bad!
Saw it yesterday on a truck trailer coming to texas
Formidable.haute.technolojie
Maritime
miss gieco is a catamaran hull in stead of a vee -hull so it glides across rather than splicing the the water
Where were you in all of this David?
How you know when to turn? Fast as your going
Your kidneys turn into glue on these runs. Got a hand it to these adrenaline ruined junkies. Gods speed.
This is very simular to formula cars. The one who gets Closest to the microscopic line wich borders failure (read crash) is a Winner.Impressive people and material!
Y'all should come try our race in trinidad and tobago called the great race. Over 100 miles of open sea and much bigger swells than key west.
This befit the Victory boats took over. Way better boats than Skater, MTI and Mystic. Those Victory boats rule the world right now
Why does the boat engine have music?
Lucky Coast Guard 87' patrol boat with their being paid to sit front row spot lol. I'm in the USCG, I'm a Surfman out in WA state. I run boats in some crazt stuff, but not fast like this. How the heck does one get a job like this?
More than 30,000 yuan to ship ?
ever been to Thunder Bay?
Fastest tunnel boat on the planet!
Strap up kids! Where going tubing.
Miss geilo ☝️
Wich engines does miss Geico have ?
Well want to buy this boat GEICO
Nice but big water is all white caps in KW 6-7 footers
Shit gets real at about 6:14!!
Music sucks but love the boat.
Why can`t they make a racing-game of this!!!
They have lol like loads of them lol
@@kratos7893 There isn't much Offshore Powerboat Racing games other than The Crew 2.
@zArtic there are tons of boat games out there... 6 prolly lol some might not be racing but like dead in the water omg that was my favorite game on Playstation.
I thought even that one had a race part.
@@kratos7893 I think the Person who made the comment that we replied to was talking about actual Offshore Powerboat Racing Games. However, I agree with you on there being Alot of Boat Games out there. I actually used to play two by the name's of Ship Simulator Extremes and Hydro Thunder, those were some fun games back in the day.
@zArtic true but even on Google play I've seen a few. Not any good ones but there still is alot out there on various platforms and different styles of play as well but no I totally get what you are saying like mainstream systems for that concept in a multitude way.
huge air after 6.20
Sounds like electric boat😂Search for “allez vite “ for real boat-sound
Out of ALL racing. Off Shore if my favorite.
I had to fast forward with that music and only saw a stii pic at the end that was the jump on the click it picture/video. WHERE WAS IT ? Help that is not music that you should have to hear into offshore racing boats !

👍♥️😍✌️🔥🏁
Hmmm..... I find it hard to believe that Ms Geico outfitted with with two internal combustion engines could beat those from Turban Marine outfitted with two turban engines which generally break the 200+ Mph speed. Or were all the other boats in the race outfitted only with internal combustion engines as well?
+Rumple Stiltskin Turban engines. Made in Afghanistan. Powered by 73 virgins.
the combustion engines are much more reliable so run at a more continues pace and run the same pretty much every time, unlike turbines.
2 x 2000hp V8s
Up to 213mph
@@daltondrummer very wrong,reliability of piston was far too loose compare to G.T.E.
No wonder insurance rates are sooo high. Nice toy though
How do you do this? is this a job? would be neat to know
***** Who said I wanted to do this? I just asked a question. But yet again, nice try
+คภGєl ❤ єYєϟ You seem like a pathetic child with those so called "insults" lol try again.
Also, no question is a stupid question. I have tried searching it up but got nothing. Also, this question doesn't go towards you only idiot, it's general and Im not wasting anyone's time, you are wasting your own time trying to insult me with some of the stupidest remarks lol get out
***** That is totally false. You know nothing really, you didn't show any level of intelligence than to actually believe that someone that is asking a simple question is considered "stupid". You believing that is stupid. That is how this world runs, on ideas and questioning.
***** I can tell you're a troll
***** I may be intelligent, but I am also a complete dumbass. ;)
Had to stop watching due to the music inter fearing with the motors
That motor what is it?
Darkvader. Looking gotta breathe I guess
Yes I agree with many the music does not help this video. People that watch this are boat lovers and gear heads and rather listen to the engines.
Maybe you couldn't tell, but when there was no music, all you could hear was wind. So you wouldn't hear the engine either way.
WORLD CHAMPIONS 3 years ago. They haven't won a race since.
Thumbnail someone?
How much is this ship ?
wao
👍💪🔥🔥✌️🏁 1 ❤️
did you get beat this year by some guy in his poker run boat?
That Geico can flat haul ass.
The actual just of screen shot is prob around 6:40
