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.

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. |
You should have a cat that can run 150 MPH + at WOT for several mile without having catastrophic mechanical failures, before worring about boat measurements or classes other people run in that can run in the 150's any giving weekend.

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. Thanks for the complement about the boat I had a great time running around in it all weekend. Too bad you couldn't make it are you back together? |
I wanna hear more about all the smack talk going on in the staging area! :lolhit:

Who's had catastrophic failure?? Don't even know why I'm replying because you don't have the balls to post your name!! I been at this along time and know one thing if you don't break your not running are you don't own a boat. I have lived on the water for 20 yrs and use my boat more in a weekend than most in a month.. 240 hrs on the last set and broke a lifter last year at this time,wouldn't call that catastrophic!!! The best engine builders have there problems. After 30 yrs you name it I can break it,,what you running big wuss?? I pay a membership here and most know me,, if I don't like the way the classes are set up that's my right and looking at most of the post most agree!! Now let's see your rig and post your name or pay for a membership you tightas!! |

Thanks for the complement about the boat I had a great time running around in it all weekend. Too bad you couldn't make it are you back together? Also had a spark plug fail no big deal. We have used the boat a good bit since then just don't like the 98' heat or it's raining!! The best boating is coming now through may. Were going out tomorrow maybe take a run to landrys. Know one question when did 39mti become a 40?? ps allways carry a spare MSD box. My grandson birth and hanging out with family was more important than loto. Maybe next year!! |
