I know some guys are putting huge hp in the class 6 boats just not in the budget. what are the difrent boats running for hp. Are twin o/bs legal in class 6? Thanks guys for helping this newbie.

Josh, A 24 Bananna would be a great class 6 boat. To run class 5 would be a task. Lots of rockets there.
Our goal is to maintain the class 6 as a great place for the 26 and under boats to have a place to be competitive. The power issue has been addressed in the past. What we are looking for is no more than 500hp. The twin outboard configuration is a possibility, provided they are stock 200-225 motors. That however would have to be agreed on by the class. We do have an Awards/rules meeting on February 7. That would be a great place to address this, if you could make it. If not you can call me at 732 920 3945, and we can talk. Hope to have you aboard, we have a great bunch of maniacs here, that we are very proud of. Smitty
