Panama City Beach Super Boat Florida Championship
By host @ 8:36 PM :: 80 Views :: 0 Comments :: :: 10 October
 

The Super Boat designation says it all and what better place to enjoy than the beaches of Panama City!  These are some of the fastest and largest offshore power boats in the world. With a maximum length of 50 feet, F-16 jet canopies and equipped with up to four engines producing  more than 4,800 HP , these boats can reach record breaking speeds upwards of 200 mph.  Imposing as they may appear, they are finely tuned machinery incorporating the most advanced space age technology.  They provide the Ideal platform for the installation and testing of equipment under some of the most punishing conditions possible.

Super Boat Racing is not just about these sleek and fast machines, but about the thrill seeking souls who get behind the helm of these 4,800 HP monsters. A racer and his copilots must work as a team predicting the constantly changing aspects of the inshore environment, the waves, the wind, the wakes, and currents.  Each team must know its boat intimately - what it can and cannot do, and how to optimize its performance for every situation they may encounter.  Only then can their hopes be fufilled of crossing that finish line. 

The races though are not just about the boats and their drivers.  The events are social gatherings where thousands of fans and onlookers congregate.  The Panana Beach Super Boat Florida Championship is held on the beautiful waterfront.  With no admission fee, this race has attracted not only the fans but anyone wanting an excuse to spend a day on the water.  Families organize picnics with their loved ones, friends meet up for a beach party, company owners organize picnics for their employees, and boat owners get an excuse to take their boats out for a front row seat. 

Come out and experience the thrill of seeing the boats up close in Frank Brown Park and then watching them fly across the beautiful emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico!

The Panama City Beach Super Boat Florida Championship is held in mid October with most of the onshore activities taking place at Frank Brown Park.
