Awesome! Is there a factory style class? Would love to see something closer to like what the 233 ran back in the day type boats.

Of course, talk to Janet with Ocean Cup to make sure, but that is what I understood when I asked her about the <100mph rule for the open cockpit boats.
I believe if you break out of your speed class for less than 3 seconds then no penalty, over 3 seconds it is a 1 minute penalty, more than 5 breakouts a 2 minute penalty for every breakout and over 10 breakouts is a disqualification. Dont quote me on those but the rules are on the website under instructions.

Interested as well, could be a awesome time

If they have a class for 50ft full cabin express cruiser i'm in. I think I can do it in 3 hrs flat on autopilot while drinking beer.

Will be cool to see what happens to the 100mph class if it kicks up.
