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'll 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's race boat is a 21-foot Child's 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' 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's evolving safety standards and its influence on the current state of racing down under.
