That boat is going to break ALOT of those production mids. It will help if you make sure it has the composite or rubber lower mounts instdead of the metal ones.

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.
