How much power was being used in these boats when it was A-class?
Many people consider the old A-class as one of their favorite classes, and I agree.

I realize that the Bravo couldn't handle this and that would be a major issue.
A SSM#5, SSM#6, Mercury NXT or Konrad ACE would be needed.
"A" Class engine spec was as follows: 510 Cubic Inch, Iron Head, (Dart) 9.5 to 1 compression, single Carb, 1050 Holly DOM was the choice (heavily modified) , 15" limitation on header runner length, ANY valve train, (to builders used Jesel) no porting restrictions. Few manifold restrictions. Top builders were making over 800 ft lbs at around 6400 RPM. Blew Bravo Drives off the back like popcorn, I did R&D for IMCO on my Phantom SVL.

Thank you RG3, atleast someone on here gets it. Randy wants 20 boats out on the course so maybe a race (you know 2 boats side-by-side) breaks out. That is what fans want.

Work on getting the boats to run together, that will bring success.
