Offshore World Record - San Fran to San Diego. In a gas powered Cat

**HB Vic** · 11-25-2013, 03:38 PM

Just a little teaser, more details coming soon:

A big event will be happening soon, very soon, involving a very large gas powered Cat, that will be attempting to break four (4) speed/time records starting in San Francisco Ca. and finishing in San Diego, Ca. Two other stops and records are also a part of the record breaking attempt. The stops are currently set to be MDR (Marina Del Rey) and The Queen Mary in Long Beach.

Details of the event have not yet been published pending some minor housekeeping items that's should be cleared up shortly.

We, www.hotboat.com, hope to be a part of this event and should be able to bring some coverage of the event to our community and the public in general. I know that's a lot of if's, but with the details still pending I don't want to get too far ahead of myself. With a little luck, hotboat.com may be aboard the record setting boat or another chase boat. Again, the details are still being worked out and we will update everyone as soon as we can.

Should be a very interesting event at a minimum. And we will update everyone as soon as more details are available.

I heard a rumor they have been trying to do this. Have had many set backs and delays....

A 50' V powered by a pair of diesels tried this a month or so ago. They left San Francisco and headed south... Got into 10-14' seas and it took them over 9 hours to make it to Long Beach.

Best of luck to this team. I hope they can do it. If it is the Outlaw Outerlimits, that is one bad ass boat.

The suspense has been killing me for the last several months...

I think this one is the real deal...

They have been talking about doing it "in the next few weeks" for a couple of months now. They have never given a specific date. Jeff Murray (who is hauling the boat) said he is hauling the boat out, will put it in the water today at the Berkeley Marina, then drive the boat to the San Francisco Yacht Club, stay the night at the SF Yacht Club, and depart Wed morning. Jeff also made plans to have someone drive him back to Berkeley to get the truck.

Best Of Luck to them!!!
