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
By the way your boat came out great to bad you didnt get to run the shoot out.
