Well, I think you could prop and/or rev limit a little differently knowing there was smooth water and nothing left to lose if a motor or drive cuts loose. At the speeds some of these guys are attaining a prop change alone could cost or gain 7-8 mph on top end. And as far as I know virtually every boat running p-class could break out if ran WFOT and light on fuel. I don't see how there would be a problem if I built an engine for 5500 rpms and then rev limit it to 4800 for longevity and chose my class accordingly. Naturally if I change chips and run 5200 my top speed will break out. Heck a 46 Skater with 502 425's in it might make a real nice P4 boat

Oh, and I also think that the Worlds will be very strictly enforced in a reasonable and open manner. But I am just a spectator so let the fur fly

I guess that's Harry's gentlemanly way of saying "I'm gonna kick all of your asses".
