Question regarding racing intercoms...
We race a 26 foot Scarab in the P5 class and our class is limited to 72 mph top speed (as recorded by onboard GPS downloaded after race). Our last race, we had a large lead so I was holding my hands widely apart to let our throttleman know we had a large lead and back off just a little so there would be no chance of breaking out (exceeding 72 mph) and being DQ. After the race, I found out he thought I was saying there were 2 boats right behind us and that's why he was still right on the edge of the speed limit. The moral of the story is we need intercoms, we have raced for 10-12 years without them but have seen the light. We have a 3 person team so we need a 3-person setup for full helmets. Any suggestions/experience on what's out there and what kind of price? Thanks in advance.

We Have Tried Every Cheat Intercom System In The World, And After Purchasing One From Racing Communications With Vhf, I Will Say It Was Money Well Spent. If You Move To Another Boat Take The Intercom With You. Oh Yeah, Get The Private Channels Too
