Rick Racer I was ten years old during this race. You guys got serious air numerous times. Kick ass job rick you guys killed the competition. Hell what competition haha. You’re a lucky guy I would love to be on one of those boats. I could only imagine the rush had to be incredible. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

What are you doing these days? I've always LOVED the look of Apaches. When I was younger, we had a 30' Superboat. It's a business in Lindenhurst, Long Island. I LOVED that boat! But u could only dream of a huge Apache!
@thesuperjed17 жыл бұрын
This is hands down, the best powerboat video in existence! Awesome piloting and videography. The swell in the shallow Miami ocean & the resulting jumps, the cocaine crazed pilots driving this beast without vests or helmets, the noise of those motors at full throttle pinned on redline through the heads is just awesome, every part is just awesome. I have no other words.... Thank you for the upload and please never delete this video

For me, '41 Apache's were the best deep-v offshore racers ever. This is a great video that really captures how the '41 was a wave crushing, solid tracking monster. GREAT engine sound captured here too. The air she catches around 7:00 and for the next several seconds is unreal.

Poetry in motion. I've always loved listening to throttlemen working both their magic and talent. Hearing the engines sing in this video, coming off the throttles and back on as the boat flies over waves on their way to crashing into shore is simply amazing to me.
