Super V Light question
 

What are the rules for Super Vee light in SBI? engine, boat lenth ect...?

Re: Super V Light question
 

The SVL will run under the OSS/APBA rules but I think its called Super Vee limited in SBI. It sounds confusing but it's not.

Whats this?? Maybe a GreatLakesCastor Super V Light boat?? That would be awesome!!!

Re: Super V Light question
 

Were looking at our options. Is svl limited power? How fast to be competive?

Re: Super V Light question
 

Merc. 525 or Vortec are approved motors and you will need to run 86-90 MPH to have a chance in calm water. Call me if you are interested in more details.

SVL,
Will be running under SBI rules and they are the same as APBA...If you have any questions guys you really should call SBI. There is a ton of people putting out mis-information.

Thanks guys!

Re: Super V Light question
 

Frank,
I don't think you have the whole story... Class majority rule. OSS happened's to have the most registered SVL or Superboat Vee Limited as SBI is now calling it. They will not be racing against your Superboat Manf. 1 class, open cockpit boats. OSS also happened's to have to most Cat Lites and Super Cat's, so those boats will also follow OSS rules.

Re: Super V Light question
 

The source, SBI.

Would you care to call SBI or would you like to just wait and see? Why would I make this up?

Re: Super V Light question
 

Shane,
I can't stress enough, "don't believe everything you hear..."

See you in Key West...

Re: Super V Light question
 

Mark and Shane,
Why don't you guys just call Deana or John at SBI. 305-296-6166
And remember, I am only referring to the OSS classes: Cat, CatLite, Vee, & VeeLite.

Re: Super V Light question
 

Yeah Shane... I'm just making this crap up, because I've got sooooo much to win by doing it.

Re: Super V Light question
 

Shane,
Fair enough, see you in Key West...

Re: Super V Light question
 

Nope. :p

Love ya Mark... And I REALLY mean that... :rolleyes:

Re: Super V Light question
 

Ben,
Hey bud you are starting to scare me. I can't believe that you are giving such bad info and tring to mis-lead teams. I guess you weren't at the meeting 9/24/04... you couldn't be further from the truth.Are you speaking for yourself or OSS?
I'm going to try and clear this up once and for all. EVERY class will be running under SBI rule book,and EVERY boat will be inspected by SBI if OSS wants to have inspectors in KW thats fine but they won't be needed,and ALL scoring will be done by SBI. Shane is correct and Ben you should know better if it is SBI insurance how in the world could we use anyones Else's rule book the insurance company just got done reviewing changes.All of the rules in all the classes where matched up at the meeting on the 24th that you were not at.SBI has amended a few classes in there rule book to help all group out(OSS super cats).
Ben this isn't a joke you shouldn't mis-lead these guys and have them get bush wacked in KW.
Ben also don't try and make it sould like you have spoken to John and he gave you that info. Because again that would be the furthest thing from the truth.
Please get your facts before you reply...this isn't a joke and giving false information isn't going to sit well with anyone.
IF THE INFORMATION THAT YOU SAY IS FACT THEN WILL SOMEONE FROM OSS PLEASE REPLY,WE KNOW YOUR OUT THERE PAUL. BELIEVE ME THIS ISN'T TO START **** BUT THE TEAMS DESERVE TO KNOW THE TRUTH AND I FOR ONE AM APPALLED.
Ben you are making it sound personal and its not, it doesn't matter who rules we are running under,but at this particular race it happens to be SBI. I think u forget it is SBI's party and they invited OSS.What your trying to do isn't going to help anyone,and just put a wedge between us all again.

AGAIN IF THE FACT BEN HAS POSTED ARE CORRECT WOULD SOMEONE FROM OSS OR APBA PLEASE RAISE THEIR HAND.

Re: Super V Light question
 

So KOOL HAND post the SVL rules and make it easy on EVERYONE!

Re: Super V Light question
 

I would be happy to answer any questions I can about the event. Please call any time(west coast).

http://www.superboat.com/pits/resource.html

Page 50 is where Manufactures 1(SBI) which is the same as APBA SVL and OSS SVL. Superboat Vee Limited(SBI) is a twin engine class which sisters up with APBA SV and OSS SV.

Guys I have said this before, lets leave our egos at home and come together as racers, obviously Paul, John and Bob/Jim met on the 24th and worked things out for us to come together and have one true world champion in each class. Lets go down there have some fun and have some SAFE competitive racing and congratulate the best of the best. Men like CMS/Castaway, Lucas Oil, Mid-American Offshore, Pro-Marine, to name a few, have raced with all associations this year and had no problems doing so. They have a passion to race and we should follow their examples. SBI redid their rulebook back in Febuary after the OSS letter of intent to acomodate any racer from ABPA, OSS to have a class to race in if they chose to race in SBI.

Good luck to all and see ya soon

Re: Super V Light question
 

Frank,
I think you are confused. Superboat vee limited is now svl
, superboat vee is sv, superboat vee unlimited is twin big power, and f1 is f1. I spoke with sbi (john c) and that is what was explained to me. Furthermore if it is a mess I suppose oss will do like apba is doing next year and have their own worlds and that will be the end of this debate.

Re: Super V Light question
 

Vinny,
It doesn't have to be a mess it is what it is. All I want to do is give the teams the correct info. before they get to KW.What Ben posted is incorrect and just wanted to get it clear.I think the worlds will be great,and having all the boats in one place racing for a true world champion is what the sport needs.My hat is off to all 3 organization for the great job they have done to make this work.
Yes the classes are now correct Vinny and the changes were made and that is what I said earlier in my reply. The only thing is in the rule book if you are looking for the SVL rules they are on page 50 and say F1 because at the begin of the year SBI was using that for the SVL boats.
Good luck in KW Vinny.

Re: Super V Light question
 

FRANK, PLEASE CALL PAUL W. ASAP. All this was worked out weeks ago and now it sounds like no one ever told you about the changes. On the other hand maybe the 35 teams of OSS were told the wrong info on a conference call. I dont think so. I do agree that it needs to be cleared up so call Paul and get the info we have all been told.
This is the kind of crap that will destroy unity in the future.

Re: Super V Light question
 

Randy,
That is all I'm true to do for your sake and all the other teams.As for my Info. it was as of yesterday so I think it is correct. But I will check again,and I don't see the point tiring to be made if all the classes match you would there be different groups running a class.
One last thing...All the boats are paying Registration to SBI wouldn't that tell you something???
Also Randy I tried to call Paul and no answer,and I also left my number.On the same hand Randy you should call SBI and speak to John and only John and then you could pass the word.Maybe then they would get it.

Re: Super V Light question
 

Mr. Koolhand,
I am not disputing the "General Rules of SBI", and I agree, we "ALL" are running under them. I am referring to the "Tech Rules" only.

Have a GREAT day, and we'll see you in Key West... With a smile... :p

Re: Super V Light question
 

Ben,
Same to you,we'll see you in Key West. Best of luck to you,be safe and kick some ASS... :p :p

Re: Super V Light question
 

Shane B,
We will see how key west goes and then vote, as of now from what I understand we will be back to key west..........with alot of variables. Why is apba having their own worlds....seems like no difference then the nationals?There is no world's in my opinion if we all run at seperate sites, but what do I Know other than its all about the money. Vinny

By the way John C said he will be putting a post out this week updating rule changes, laps and fuel requirements for several classes.

Shane, No worries...

Ben

Re: Super V Light question
 

Shane, no complaints with any organization only following your lead. you seem to answer questions with a question.......you threw out corpus and I mention apba already scheduling their own worlds, does not make sense to have a national and worlds with the same boats for any organization............don't get your undies in a bunch, they will get buched up enough in key west.....I bought a thong just so I won't have to pull them out.....have a nice day! vinny

Re: Super V Light question
 

Vinny, That's WAY TOO MUCH INFO !!!! :D :D I didn't need to know that. LOL :D :D :drink: See you in KW. Dave Warden :drink:

Re: Super V Light question
 

thongs were meant for women not dudes , I liked it better when the women were going to wash boats in thongs now we have digressed to this

Re: Super V Light question
 

So far I haven't got any commitments from you guys on any of the challenges. You all must have no confidence in yourselves! Thats good for me. Shane Im calling you out dude. If you have something different in mind let me know.

Re: Super V Light question

I don't know if I really want you guys washing our boat "I saw the Pic of you and Glen hosing the engine scoops" however everyones sexy wives all lathered up in thongs sounds like my kind of party ( I saw this scene in a movie once) the more I think of it the hell with the boat they can wash me hey kermit likes bubble baths with naked women , and ron you can bring the two bow bunnies you posted ..... anything but you guys in thongs bad visual
