Newsweek In The Powerboat Nation—May 2-9
Though much of the buzz of the past seven days centered around a power struggle in offshore racing, there was plenty of equally worthwhile, far less drama-laden news in the go-fast boating world. South Florida’s Angle of Attack Marine tested the waters of the Western United States for Mystic Powerboats, and found them just fine. Between raceboat and pleasure catamaran projects, Manatee Marine Unlimited continue to set a blistering pace in Southwest Florida. At the Tickfaw 200 Poker Run, the endless celebration of the Skater Powerboats catamaran brand was in full force. And just in case you missed any of that or even more, it’s all right here.
