What are your talking about? OSS may not have the largest boat count but they run a very professional ship (so to say) and as far as Mercury only motors ?? Thats far from accurate, just look at the SVL class.. :lolhit:

from their rule book;

b. The Mercury Racing 525 EFI Sealed Engine and the Innovation Vortec HP3 Sealed
Engines are the only current production engines approved for use in SVL.

Doesn't that limit the fleet to 3 boats? Randy, Steve, and Jim Simmons?

It also appears that all of the "National Classes" are Merc products also. Only P Class is open to all builders.

I thought the 750 class was open to Sterling Motors - mybad.

Doubt it!!
I'd put $100 bill on Ameran & DOT not letting the dam be used for spectators! Only reason I say that is that I have family that works for Ameran..."not a meter reader either..lol" when asked about it at our little New Years get together he said NO WAY!! Huge liability!!
They probably will close the dam down...but they do that for parades and alot of other stuff too for traffic reasons!

I didn't know all those boats had Sealed Engines like the OSS rules require. Always learning something new from you Randy.

Pig Iron is the only one not sealed.

I thought I read in other posts from Randy that the SBI teams ran hot boxes and a had unsealed engines. Do they have extra sealed engines? If so that would be great, they could cross lines between OPA, SBI and OSS without a problem.
