What happened to all the old F2 boats???
 

I feel like there should be more out there kicking around, and what would you guys consider as the class that took F2's place????

you're right...not a ton of them around. P3 is probably the closest class to F2 now speedwise(95 MPH). Vee limited(525's) is closest in motors.


Somebody correct me if I'm wrong about Vee limited being boats with twin 525's.

im also trying to figure out the new classes with all of the changes and different sanctioning bodies.....

Hope this helps clear some stuff up....

thanks warlock, whats the next class up after super v limited but not a production class??????

Isn't there a twin engine 525 V-hull class? Maybe they don't have it in SBI? I know they have Super Cat Lite which is cats with twin 525's.

i was wondering the same thing cause i couldve sworn there were a bunch of twin engine 525 boats in key west running

The super V class went away. The new 42 Fountain ran so strong that one team after the other dropped out till the class was gone. Lucas moved up, Instigator, Billy Bret, Richies 39 Phantom, The blue Fountain ME, The Wazz Up boat, Wahoo, Spiderman, Muscle....ect

so super v was twin 525's??? what were they running for speeds???

Our old F2 Nor-Tech 380 SuperFast is still running in Belgium as a pleasure boat, though it raced one season a couple of years ago in P1. I was in Miami on Tuesday and saw an F2 Velocity in dry dock at a marina near Sunny Isles. I have the old JBS SV, and the old Freedom Offshore F1 Corsa.
