He held the single engine powerboat record for circumnavigating Long Island, I believe. The record was never broken. He also had a speedboat with twin 409s in it. As well as a number of L88 powered boats. I remember he showed me a photo of their record breaking run and he was at the helm and his partner was hanging halfway over the front of the boat like a masthead, to add weight to balance the nose. Imagine doing that for any length of time is insane.
EDIT: I just googled the record and it looks like it was finally broken last year by a 17 year old kid after 54 years on the books!
