That's a good thing that everyone is running low HP I was getting worried that the 350 with an Alpha one Gary put in the old PFE boat wasn't going to be enough.

Default HP's

I can tell from many years of experience, you will need to be pushing 600 horse or better to be competitive in class 6.

We are repowering for 2013.

The only exception to the above, would be running a Riendel boat with 300 HP in really big water. Pretty much a guaranteed winner with the right crew.

Let me know!
Which SVL did you buy?

I don't know about that. I think any boat has a chance in the right water with the right crew. Smith Brothers won many many races with the least amount of power in class 6 for many years. Every class 6 team has a chance next season, we all ran good this past season, there was a few uh ohs in all the races. I know that for a fact, I was one that looked to my side to see a boat I didnt think I would see there! HAHA!!! That makes it fun!

Bruce: We didnt pull the trigger this season, the finances just wasnt there for us. Maybe next.
