APBA offshore powerboat race - Ft. Lauderdale

Watching from Ft. Lauderdale Beach as my friend Will's dad (Bill McComb) races in a super-vee heat. 42' Fountain Hull, Twin 750hp Vortech 8.0 engines. We rode on the yellow "Pier 57" Fountain from where it was launched to the "hot pit" area.

We also helped change props in the pit as well.

As far as I can remember the following boats were in this race which was Super Vee, the highest class of V-bottom boats.

Teams:
Pier 57
Miccosukee Indian Gaming
Lucas Oil
CMS
Spiderman
Donzi
UTZ
Ettore

*I apologize for the poor filming, I was using a new tripod that had a very tacky/sticky main swivel joint causing it to skip around as I tried to pan...

You know what? I don't recall "Muscle Boat"

I remember that Spiderman was ahead for most of the race, Mikosukee (sp) Indian gaming boat was chargin hard until he blew his engine. Donzi did well and Lucas Oil was last (As always)...

Is that the old B-28 Dramamine boat? From the 'Jawana' team. If so it was a Skater built Fountain 42 cut down to meet the 39' B class from the late '90s
