Ramsey is also the current BAD Boat Challenge champion, and he puts that crown on the line in the upcoming 2026 USA & New Zealand vs. Australia BAD Boat Challenge. There, he\u2019ll face a deep and competitive field of more than 25 Australian racers, along with standout American challengers Duff Daily and Ty Newton and New Zealander Zack Weller. Ramsey\u2019s race boat is a 21-foot Child\u2019s Play powered by a 470-cubic-inch PSI-blown big-block Chevy built by BNR Engines, with top speeds reaching 160 mph. In this episode, Ramsey shares an inside look at the razor-thin margins that define elite powerboat racing, where milliseconds matter where anything less than meticulous preparation can make or break a race weekend. Ramsey discusses the unique experience of hosting two legendary American racers on Australian waters and evaluates his chances against the Americans\u2019 Mike Stock\/Duff Daily designed flatbottom boats. Ramsey also opens up about the unique dynamic of racing alongside his brother, Blake Ramsey, his trusted teammate who is simultaneously one of his toughest competitors. Drawing from a deep family racing legacy, Ramsey discusses the history of Australia\u2019s evolving safety standards and its influence on the current state of racing down under.
