Maritime's power was two turbocharged 400hp Daytona engines. • It was the first time that a metal hull had won a major offshore powerboat contest. For the second time on the 1965 U.S. circuit the wooden Prowler Miss Amazon sank, sending its mother-daughter team of Rene and Gale Jocoby into the water. • Except from Searace by John O.
