On another note. Are any of the sv's going to Sarasota? We are debating where to race in July. I've Been reading that the org has been a bit of a ghost. Just curious if anyone has plans to show in Sarasota, both Sbi and Opa boats, and how they plan to tech. Leaning towards Marathon though.

I might be able to make you decision easier... based off your name my assumption is that you are running a Vortec which per OPGP and OPA are illegal motors.. The only legal motors per OPGP/APBA per OPA written rules (2014 OPA hasnt updated yet) is 525 EFI sealed. OPGP has added the 540 but with the OPA rule book not being updated as of yet, that means APBA isnt updated as well
If you can come up with a 525 let me know I have 3 sets of Mercury issued seals sitting here in my shop I'll give ya so you dont have to go to the ludicrous expense of having Mercury rebuild and seal your motor

Just took 5 minutes to check. Used 525 18k plus 10k mercury rebuild plus shipping. For 30k I can race the other orgs with a motor that runs just like mine.

Not to mention but I believe you are 32 ' which knocks you out of OPA. APBA may also have a 30 ' rule as well.

I LOVE IT !!!!!! Great rigging job and looks very well laid out. I prefer you have a throttelman and driver but its been done with one man in other boats. It will be worth the wait. VERY IMPRESSIVE !!!!
