Big news from the most high-powered class in offshore powerboat racing, https://speedonthewater.com/in-the-n...or-2019-season.

As a race fan, the most important thing to me is the safety of the racers and I think that by reducing the power they will achieve that goal. I also believe that by reducing the power it will reduce the cost and increase the reliability and hopefully those changes may bring more racers into the sport in the future.

^^^ Granted but its a bracket class - there is NOTHING unlimited about unlimited class running 1100's... its a new version of 750 and 850 Superboat (cat)

Crazy that Poker Runs (that are not a Race) will be the Unlimited Class in offshore "boating"

Strictly IMHO

It isn't a bracket class, spec engine class maybe....Makes a lot of sense. The show is good close racing, not who has the biggest engine. Let the poker run guys have the ego trip.....

X-rated

I guess they'll have to change the name of it????

Correct - TY.

So is this the beginning of the end of Merc Racing's advancements in technology/design except in the Verado's?

Pushing the power led to the advancements in technology - racing 1100's is still going to be racing but attrition set the greats from the fields... and 1100's will still grenade under max loads - maybe a bit longer life but...
