Well, I seem to have missed the part where the president of APBA said the boat didn't meet the svl criteria. Can you show me where that was said? What reason was given? Lack of tech inspections? It's no longer considered an SV Single but is now an official SV Light kilo record ttbomk. I also never said that the people posting here were unqualified onlookers. I know that some of them are racers and I have a lot of respect for "T2x" and the other present racers. Just looking for the actual facts. There is really a lot of an animosity over this.

Its all smoke and mirrors and about selling boats. No offense to the Fountains but if you think Reggie never stretched things out to get a favorable view from the public eye, may monkeys fly from your sphincter. Doesn't make it right though. just sayin.

Didn't you read where Matt Trulio wrote he either spoke to Mark Wheeler or was waiting on a return call from Mark Wheeler to set the facts straight on this story, a thread Matt initially called "...sets svl kilo record" then corrected and explained in detail? Do you know Mark Wheeler is the President of the APBA?

Seems? Really, that's good enough for a tech inspection? It either passes tech or it fails.
FYI, the President of APBA was the guy who said the boat didn't meet the svl criteria, not a bunch of unqualified onlookers. That's one big reason the APBA didn't classify it under their Offshore category but instead carved out the Special Event category SV Single, a class that apparently has no criteria published anywhere anyone can find.

To sum it up, the new SV single (or whatever it is) :record is one of three things:
1. Pathetic
2. Heroic
3. Of no consequence whatsoever
Pick one as it seems like most already have, myself included.
Have a nice day.
