Some ideas for you
Go get yourself a prop shaft dyno. let them run what ever they want...500 hp at the prop max. 5800 rpm. Tech DONE.
Do a spec prop like we did in P1, I tested every prop from Frank and Jimmies after we had them done, they were within .25 mph of each other.
Do the data logger for parity. weight down the boats to keep everything equal.
And somebody will always cheat, when you find it or even suspect it...Kick them so far out it hurts.
After the Andy debacle in P1, I hope boat racing has learned some lessons.
And if you need a chief referee I'm in

The prop dyno was being looked at by OPA at one point and I believe one of the problems was that it couldn't be used with shorty lowers ( not enough clearance) . With that being said you could always have a standard lower put on for the dyno pull. The other issues was transporting it, water supply and liability if you smoked a motor on it. Figure that out and I am all for it in any org. Add a data logger in each boat and that takes care of most of your tec. IMO

Its been tried 10 yrs ago we dont want to go there again doesnt work very well, actually where is one out there with a water tank and 2 trailers that u can buy cheap.
Just get good tech and u dont need it. Its a big expenses for the org. that they really dont need.
Someone also mentioned something about adding weight for parity that doesnt work either bad idea. The right way is to reduce rpm by simple chaging the chip in the MSD and monitoring the data logger.
