I was wondering the exact same thing dk.
I guess the most important thing is that everyone had a hell of a good time and posted amazing speeds this year. |

I have no idea, runs 93 mph at 4000 rpms, 101 mph at 4600 rpms. Joe (Hustler Power Boats) and Eddie (Young Performance) run it 112 mph in 2005. They drive alot better than i do. The motors have almost 300 hours, Eddie builds a dependable motor. These motors would be awesome in the 39 Rocket.

http://www.lakeoftheozarksshootout.org/results.html Can someone explain the diff. between Non-Professional and Manufacturer? How are Chip Romers 388 and Gary Smiths 40 in these diff categories? They're both open cockpit pleasure boats, Skater Catamarans, custom blower motors, both between 36-42 feet?????????? Am I taking crazy pills? |
I dont understand the need for classes in the first place.
Is'nt it enough that individuals get the personal satisfaction of getting their boat to go as fast as possible no matter what length/HP/ Drive/ combo they put together ? What happened to " Personal Best" ?? Isnt that good enough any more ?? By reading everything on here the event in total was a huge success and at the end of the day it neednt be sullied with drama. Congratulations to all the individual participants and especially all the volunteers that made this great weekend happen. |

The same Chit that screws up racing!! No body loses and lets make a class for every boat.. Total BS.
If they want to make a true class separated by true boat length, dont count swim platforms and over size beaks on the v bottom. 36 skaters and 39 MTIs shouldn't be in the same class with 40Skaters and 42 MTIs. It has grown and still is a great event but only One TOP GUN and thats David @ 208. Just Saying |

It is not the buyers choice how the boat is measured. If you don't like a brand because of how it's measured that is just ridiculous. I can understand that you may want to compare a 36 Skater to a 40MTI but there is a length difference and the 40MTI is a bigger boat (by how much it depends on the boat in question). No matter if it's a 33 Eliminator, 388, or 40 MTI it's still a great thing for these boaters to get out there and show how well there boat can preform in a mile without breaking.
The same reason I don't think you should have four classes for cat super-turbo charged. Whats the point I thought it was a Shoot OUT not a little league game were we don't keep score,and Skater owned the course except for pro cat. Hell the 36 Skater NorEaster ran 177 and didnt get a award. Skater HUll speeds 388 186 TOP GUN 40 165 Top GUN 36 177 ??? 39 v 121 TOP GUN 388 118 won class/ Peppers :lolhit: By the way your boat came out great to bad you didnt get to run the shoot out. |
I never did understand the manufacturer division. I agree that the boats should be seperated by canopy and no canopy, cat and vee and length.

Did anyone notice that there was a class created
for the 700SCi powered boats ? ....it was designated by the letter " A " |
