2000 Worlds St. Pete largest factory boat classes ever.
21 F-1 boats
15+ F-2 boats
Great racing
Though it's not in the 80's as chewiekw had requested, I will put in my vote for the 2000 St. Pete Worlds as well. It was incredible racing and an even more incredible week-long atmosphere that hasn't been paralleled since.
