GOOD Question: I Beleive
APBA and UIM are still
connected but I do not know about the PRO racing.
I would post on the APBA
Offshore and ask Andrew C.
Or see if Pat W."Shifter"
who is involved on both
sides of the pond responds

I believe any boat can run in the APBA or SBI "P" classes. Any engine, any drive and any hull becuase the classes are broken down by speed.

Also, SBI is very liberal on type of boat and engine in thier other national classes where APBA has homolgation requirments and fees that you won't be able to meet.

See www.superboat.com and www.apba-offshore.com. Both sites have downloadable rule books.
