Key West Offshore Racing.. Against the Odds

- 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 - Sport
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.
Unfair :-) The best boat with the best crew .... There are no enemies :-)
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!
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
great video, congrats to friends Scotty and Mark for another World Championship!
Congrats on the win! Marc and Scott know how to race!
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.
Congrat! Best Boot on Earth! Best Crew!
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❤️
Superb, thanks for sharing
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
you are the best team. congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was at that race, Geico spanked the competition.See you in 4 weeks
Loved it !!
Loved the music!
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.
This looks bad ass!
What's the matter music. Boat is perfect, guys are professional.
Well put together. Hope your doing well Marc.
Sick vid 👌🏻
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
Awesome!!! Super Duper!!!!
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!
Scary speeds and excellent watching - Congrats Sir, keep it up.
Is the mask an emergency supply of air in case of an accident?
Que monstruo ese bote,me gusta,me hace recordar cuando manejaba algunos botes
Damn that motor screaming
Miss Geico music to my ears
awesome!!!!
pretty f en awesome!!
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..
Was there also great racing big water!
Ms. Geico was getting some sirious air
High speed boat action and this is the best music you can come up with?
Well done guys, no spins, no tangles. Looks like there was just as much air time as there was warter.
Awesome
Are you guys involved with the miss geico sea-doo jet ski that is built with a turbocharger??
Wow, pilots look like the boat is beating the crap out of them!
scotty b kicks ass
Seen this boat in real life insane boat
Even with suspension seats their kidneys are taking a beating
which racing is better hydroplane or powerboat
What a sloppy, snotty, nasty day, and Marc makes it look like a walk in the park
3:23, looks like trying to tow an RV on Interstate 65 🤣
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.
2:00 Włączyłeś to Maciek? :)
Formidable.haute.technolojie

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!
I remember you from way back. Back when you owned a BAJA. 33 Outlaw if I remember correctly
Your kidneys turn into glue on these runs. Got a hand it to these adrenaline ruined junkies. Gods speed.
Where were you in all of this David?
How you know when to turn? Fast as your going
miss gieco is a catamaran hull in stead of a vee -hull so it glides across rather than splicing the the water
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 !"
Why does the boat engine have music?
Fastest tunnel boat on the planet!
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
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.
Saw it yesterday on a truck trailer coming to texas
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?
Miss geilo ☝️
Get rid of the lame music.
This befit the Victory boats took over. Way better boats than Skater, MTI and Mystic. Those Victory boats rule the world right now
ever been to Thunder Bay?
More than 30,000 yuan to ship ?
Great Video but why put music on it. ???
Jim Ball yeah, the music sucked so bad!
Well want to buy this boat GEICO
Out of ALL racing. Off Shore if my favorite.
Strap up kids! Where going tubing.
Wich engines does miss Geico have ?
top
That motor what is it?
Nice but big water is all white caps in KW 6-7 footers
huge air after 6.20
Music sucks but love the boat.
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 !
Thumbnail someone?
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. ;)
Shit gets real at about 6:14!!
How much is this ship ?
Darkvader. Looking gotta breathe I guess
did you get beat this year by some guy in his poker run boat?
VICTORY TEAM IS 100000000 BETTER
Sounds like electric boat😂Search for “allez vite “ for real boat-sound
That Geico can flat haul ass.
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.
20 seconds is all I could take of that garbage music
wao

come over 2019
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.
1:42 "Maciek wloncz"
Sooo....No 2 meter wave jump? 🙄
Good video but the noise that some fool thought was music makes it impossible to watch with any amount of volume.
No wonder insurance rates are sooo high. Nice toy though
👍♥️😍✌️🔥🏁
