Ciasulli was not intimidated and went after it on a particular race. ![]() It was a literal race monster with few opponents in its class. He even went after the infamous, eight-tonne, 15-metre aluminium catamaran Popeyes (owned by Al Copeland, founder of the fried chicken restaurant chain), which was powered by four 700hp Mercury engines with 9.4 litre Chevrolet blocks. Asked what it took to go that fast, Ciasulli told the reporter, “All it takes is machinery, luck and guts.” He seemed to have all the right elements, guts especially. One of the records he established was an APBA Class 2 world record of 117.81mph (189.6km/h) on the Detroit River in Michigan in 1984. We basically won every race we got involved in,” he says. “This boat was just a little rocket ship. He set two world speed records and was a national champion in Open Class on a 9.1-metre balsa-cored Chris Cat with Mercury engines.

He went from racing for free cocktails to bigger stake races under the name Maxon, a sure way to draw attention to the family brand.Ĭredit: Dominic Cox/EyeEm via Getty Images Once you got outside of Bimini, you could see two well-lit areas – the one to the south was Miami and Fort Lauderdale was the one to the north.” “We would find Bimini during the day by compass and came back to the US at night because it was easy. Ciasulli raced friends on day trips to the Bahamian island of Bimini without the help of sophisticated electronics.
