Re: SOB class.
Thanks Ken, please see what you can find out. Those hulls really look like the right type of vessel for the conditions. Please try to find out what sort of support Honda gives to the class.
I also sent an email to Honda looking for some info.
I do know that APBA LLC had discussions with them a few years ago, so who knows what their appetite is for racing in the US. Hopefully they'll be responsive.
See ya soon in Crescent City.

As for shipping containers cost around $5000 to ship full or empty.
Does anyone know how much the boat minus motor would be, and what size is the motor??
I would certainly entertain running one, and maybe with Mercury power!!!
