Miss Geico's latest video
unlimited resources net amazing finished products.. The Miss Geico team coming into town looks like a circus train overtaken by custom semi-trucks, wild hydraulic tilt trailers, evil canopy boats and toys, toys, toys.. They roll with matching Honda RR sportbikes, golfcarts, rhinos, everything. The girls are unbelievable. They are BY FAR one of THE best things to happen to offshore racing. Every race is a stab at bringing offshore a little closer to the average bleacher bum.
Thank YOU Miss Geico Team for all you do for the sport and for keeping us all entertained!
Pilots: Mark Grand and Big Scotty Begovich

1991 Apache Powerboats Comanche Mcmanus For Sale In Neptune, NJ: High Performance - BoatTrader.com
By the way, the Geico Team's "CAVEMAN" PR boat is for sale too.. Its a mcmanus Comanche. (very similar in weight, size, layup to an apache)
Im trying to think of all the boats this team owns. I know they have the MISS GEICO turbine extreme Mystic, but I believe they also have a 38 Fountain Center Console that they use as a VIP boat and Race Support.

And whos interested in a dyno sheet from their new Mystic raceboat?

Ive sent an invitation to Big Scotty to come join L4P and say hi. Hopefully he can free up a few minutes to come and introduce himself and let everyone know a little bit more about whats in store for the fans in the coming races. Ive met him personally and he is a true sportsman, always has time for a picture and a handshake.
As with most of the teams in offshore, they are all very approachable..

Wow, incredible boat and numbers. I'm really not a "powerboat guy," so I have a few questions. First is how do they keep the IAT's so low?

Yes, the engine dynos are used to measure the HP. THeres really no way to do a "prop dyno" ... Engines can be pulled in an hour with a good mechanic..
Im not sure, but i dont "think" MTT did the work, I think its a newer company thats building these now. But I may be wrong, they havent said who it was that built these..
IATS is kept low buying using a mixture of diesel, kerosene and JET-A I believe.

Do they run different class boats in the same race. They way Miss Geico passes some of those other boats it almost doesnt seem fair.
