Awesome ! Provide some parity for the class and it will make for better closer Racing. I don’t know of any other form of Motorsport that has a truely unlimited motor class. Even top fuel drag racing has cubic inch, weight, fuel limits etc on 10,000 hp motors. Constraints are necessary for actual competition.

It could be interesting racing - Overseas FIA Class 1 is only 850hp in the same hull lengths.

Super cat and similar are limited to max 42' depending on association.. unlimited was generally 40'+

Size regulations:
40’ - 55’ cat hull
42’ - 55’ vee hull

ITS GONNA BE GREAT FOR CLASS, I THINK IT WILL GROW CLASS SIZE. BOATS WILL STILL BE AWSOME AND FAST!!!
