Default Superboat around Long Island

Has anyone heard of the challenge they are going to do in a 30' CC? Just saw an article about it today in LI Boaters World. Plan is to take a 30' CC with a 300 SF Suzuki and race it around long island. Article said they will top of the tanks, take the boat around LI (about 5-7 hours estimated), then fill the tanks when they get back to see how much gas was used. Article said the goal is to show how a boat can have performance and be economical on gas/green in the process. The starting point will be Aqua Marine.

Sounds like an interesting challenge!

Maybe they could use some 'escort' Superboats along the way

elvisali, I know Aqua Marine is a Superboat and a Suzuki dealer. I guess thats why Aqua Marine is the starting point.

Sounds cool!

I can squeeze 5 hours out of a tank but 7 would be tough.
