I don't know if they do or not. I am saying make sure it has the softer mounts. I had production mids that had metal mounts and broke alot of them.
On another not maybe this will make sense..........if you show up with that in class 5 you might as well as go to the local MX park and race a 450 in the in the 85 class. If you want to race class 5 you should build a class 5 boat not take a 100 MPH hull and try to slow it down 30 MPH.

Now who would do a thing like that???? 
It's a bit early to be whining about what class he should run in and I'm sure OPA will put it where it fits. If it doesn't run the numbers needed for a certain class then that boat should run in the class it fits. Heck, horsepower wise it wouldn't even qualify for a class 6 boat!
59.4? only 24.6 more to go!!!! Git-R- DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

According to OPA Class 5 Rules this boat fits, and right now its not even competitive in class 5. Hell I'm not even sure I'll be racing this weekend anyway.
