The 2014 Key West Offshore Racing World Championships proved to be one of the most exciting in history with a combined total of 9 unlimited class offshore boats competing for the Holy Grail of Offshore Racing. The Unlimited Class Championship trophy and the bragging rights that your team is the fastest offshore racing team in the world. These exotic machines are packing 3-4 thousand horsepower in lightweight ocean racing hulls are capable of speeds in excess of 200mph and accelerate at breathtaking speeds.
The race is a week long event made up of 3 races and 3 test days racking up over 160 miles of full speed offshore racing action. Staying in the points race and maintaining a healthy fast boat are the keys to success. As the saying goes....To be the best...you must win in Key West.
Miss Geico was down in the points due to some technical challenges the first two events and needed some good luck and a big win on Sundays rough race. with rain forecasted and winds at 20 knots Team USA was determined to show the world what she was made of...and thats what she delivered

To this day one of the most recognized Offshore Powerboats in the World was Miss Geico with it's beautiful Chartreuse Paint job. It is a shame that Geico quit its Sponsorship of the Miss Geico Offshore as it was always the Show Stopper where ever they went and to me, got the name Geico Insurance out there better then anything that they had as advertisement and you could also add their Rigs in there also. ❤👍👍

I find it hard to believe that Ms Geico outfitted with with two internal combustion engines could beat those from Turban Marine outfitted with two turban engines which generally break the 200+ Mph speed. Or were all the other boats in the race outfitted only with internal combustion engines as well?
