so is there still talk about changing the speed? I am not a racer yet but in the process of building up a boat for class 6. This would make a difrence on the power I pick. I am still a little ways away from the power part of the project.
I would be able to run a single o/b and I am sure it would open it up to more boats in the 24 foot size.
Whatever you guys decide is cool I was just wondering
Thanks Guys

But if you are building your boat ,,i would take the most power u can get and prop it down. EXSELARATION is the key of winning ,not so much the top speed in the class.
Also u don't whant to run the engine at the max at all times.

Looks that way...nobody ran #517 in the past;so I guess its yours.Call Smitty.I know your dad ran "Stylin" P-17 and C-17 ;and eventually P1-17, with Al.Am I right in assuming your team name is going to be "Saris Racing Engines"?Get Al to bring his boat back out ..and you guys could run in both races!!!!!!
Great to have your team in Class 5...see you in Ocean City

Waterboy,
Maybe we can post ides for any rule changes prior to a conference call. This may eliminate/resolve issues instead of wasting time on the conference call.
For class 6, in order to keep the class affordable, I would like to see:
1) No engines with Blower/turbocharger
2) A stock Bravo I or stock Bravo XR. No setback boxes or Imco Speedmaster type drives.
3) Engines that run on 93 octane or less????
Possible Class 6 Line Up: (so far)
1) Cotner Trailers, 26' Corsa, 496
2) Not Guilty, 25' Warlock, 500 HP
3) The old "Not Guilty", 24 Sunsation, unknown power
4) Lock'd Up, 24' Sunsation, 482
5) Purple Batboat, 24'
6) Red Batboat, 24'
7) Silver Batboat, 24'
8) Gino's Joker, 26 Joker, 425?
9) Crockett Rocket, 26 Joker 800 HP
10) Old School, 24 Bananna, Twin 200 OB's ??
11) Thunderstruck 26' Profile? Power???
12) Anyone else???
