would running a 22 avanti be certain death running P6????? I would def make it a sit down boat as it is to shallow a hull for stand up very solid hulls just short chris

Well if this is your choice; that run it! Just steer clear of Ocean City and Point.

Chris,
The boat would be legal for Class 6;but the other boats that you have inquired about would be better.A couple of years ago a 21ft Intimidator with a single outboard ran competively in Class 5 in the flat water races.I also remember a couple 22ft Velocities and 23ft Maelstroms with single inboards running in the old A-Class.They also did well in the calm water races.Obviously,a longer boat would be better for the ocean races.There is no substitute for length.At least Class 6 is maxed out at 26ft.The whole idea behind this class was to provide a place for the smaller boats to race competitively.Based on the continued growth of the class it seems to be working pretty well.See you in O.C.

really dont want to go less than 24 if this guy will take my offer on the 22 avanti ill take it put some fresh power in it. what are the smaller water races?? I know patchogue but what else??? thanx Chris

Chris,
My 24' Sunsation is really a 23'. I'm sure you could be competative in the calmer races-Patchogue LI, Cambrigde Md, Tenn, St Claire, Port Clinton Oh.
PS Don't listen to Two Trick, bring the boat to OC and Point!!

Not to mix you up further, On Syracuse Craigs list, there is a 24' Switzer w/454, Bravo I, trailer asking 8,900.

Port Clinton flat ??? I was told it's very Mentor type water, you know 4-6ft washing machine chop.

going over to CL to check it out now thanx fast shaft i have a place on long island and also up in johnson city its about an hour to syracuse and i happen to be in johnson city now hmmm thanx Chris
