Thanks to some absolutely outstanding throttle and driver work -- and a never-say-die Aussie attitude -- Ross “Rosco” Fullerton and Peter “Muddy” McGrath have taken out the Key West World Superboat Championships in the Superboat class.
Coming from well behind (last in fact) on the final day of racing, the pair applied their superior rough-water racing experience gained Down Under and sheer guts to mow down the competitors one by one. They were often airborne in the process. See video below.
To achieve such a win against teams with much, much bigger budgets is a real achievement and we tilt our akubra to the high-flying Aussies and the Maritimo Race Team backed by Bill Barry-Cotter and his namesake Gold Coast motoryacht yard.
