Well the hull is basically a Corsa. We could lay it up lighter to get some speed. Miklos set the kilo record w/ a hp500 at 82 mph , speed not sure. The deck we have is a outboard deck. We have to modify it for I/O. I'm serious guy's , not playing.

2. Randy
3. Me

There's 3 for the class. Tell me what to do and I'll do it!

Get Yamaha , Honda, Or Tahotsu To Give Some Breaks On The Motors. They Should Want A Piece Of This

We also have access to the 21 Apache molds (Beau's). Get er done.

Well I know a boat builder with a 25 Sunsation/Corsa/Panther (all the same) Mold and could Vacuum bag one pretty damm light and very strong for pretty cheap.

But Like I said, If you look long term it would better to "copy" one of Euro designs. Same boats, same specs different continent would open up great door for cross continent rivalry races and maybe some racers going to and fro..

I ain't copying no Europeans.

Ok, Maybe not the French....

Steve Curtis is the brain child behind that class. It is his baby. I will call him tomorrow and see what involvement Honda has. If a manufacturer would get behind the power it has a chance. Looks like wild a@@ racing.

wild is an understatement. those guys and G I R L S are freakin nutz. looks like fun. im making a call in the am about a boat

Do the racers over seas all have the same bottom? Or are there different boat builders.
Being a class that would the least expensive in Offshore history I dont see teams that are spending less then $50k sending there boat overseas. It would be cheaper to leave it.
Can you calculate aprox speed with HP to weight with that bottom?
Is it a stepped bottom?
Less HP means less cost!!!!!
Whats the speed target we should be shooting for?
65 mph?
Think safety as well!
A cool cockpit is a must for a race feeling.
