Please don't take the "wanna-be" as derogatory, it was meant to be descriptive.
I am also a Kart guy, won the IKF TaG Enduro Road Racing Grand National Championship last year (in my first year of karting). I have also raced stock cars, sprint cars and midgets. In fact I have a midget ride with the BCRA for 2008.
Road racing karts is a blast, the big tracks like Infineon and Buttonwillow are awesome.

Nope, no offense taken!
I'm too, um large... to do any sprint racing, so all my actual kart racing has been road racing (although I've got a lot of fun time at Moran, Adams, kart Willow, etc.). I'm dying to get up to Sears for the Thanksgiving race some time. I've got too many laps around Buttonwillow and Willow springs in IT cars... Hey do you know Troy Shooter? He's a real good buddy and until I switched to the Swedetech ICC stuff, he was doing my motors (basically a Darcy copy).
My post (to get it back on track and stop the hi-jack) was really intended to clarify (and further broadcast) what I was looking for for the 2008 season. I nearly bought a race boat earlier this year (but was waiting for my AS Camaro to sell), but owning and running my own race boat doesn't really make sense for me right now. I would like to get back into competion again and I'm hoping this turns out to be a viable way to do so.
Looking forward to staying in touch and meeting in person some time soon!

Any of these boats can show up and race. To show up and win however, they need new power. It's all about torque now. Big HP, Big torque, 0 to 74.9 and not a 1/10 over. So although the boats may be inexpensive, the new engines won't be. These are good entry level boats.
