Whatever happened to that boat? I remember watching that boat and DOI battle it out on Speedvision all the time. It was my favorite boat, and I always cheered for it to win. Might not have been that long ago, but I remember that as being "the good ol days of racing" for me.

In 1999 there were only (2) Open Class Race Boats racing. Alcone went to Europe and Drambuie was left uncontested. I miss the Super Cat days of 2000 - 2003. It was a cool boat though.

It was turned into a pleasure boat.
I saw it in Miami a few years ago at Sundays on the bay.

So I just spent the last little while doing some research. Seems like Owner/Driver Matt Alcone sort of dropped off the face of the planet. It said he raced a bit in Europe but that is about all I could find. Pics show there were two different boats though.

a few pics.....
Matt also had a hot wife, no pics thoughI'd rather be on the boat with a drink on the rocks, than in the drink with my boat on the rocks.

Offshore racing was on TV (me included) on ESPN/ABC in the mid 80's, graduated to ESPN only a few years later, then to ESPN2, then it branched out to MSG, Prime, and Speedvision (later Speed), It then went to TNN, a few more lesser stops and finally to the Box Lunch and Cookies network before being banished completely to the web. If you were to graph this history the trajectory would be continuously downward.
Of course it is appearing weekly on Saturdays on CBS .............. if your TV has a "Wayback Machine" in it. The sponsor is the SBI Florida wetlands Real Estate development company....
