Default Class 6 question........

If I build a 26' canopy boat with a 525 efi, an extension box with a Bravo 1 can I run it in class 6?????

I mean we have Bat boats in our class already?????

You guys wont mind right???

That way I can get my practice in for an SVL.

Well I would but thats a few years out Rich. Plus I dont want to be in last place all the time when I make the switch. This way I have a few hundred hours in a canopy boat when I switch over.

Thanks!!!!

If I recall the rules said no canopied boats in 5 or 6 *other than the 24ft Bat Boat.

I would personally be fine with it, but I would say it would depend on a class vote I think.

As long as the approx. top speed of your 26' Canopy boat with a 525 and box etc. doesn't exceed say about 75 mph, I think it will fit in nicely. By the way I have one allready started, so if you just want to finish it up you can.

I was thinking if nobody in our class had a problem with it i would like to build a ls 1 with a small blower to run this year .
I think it would make around 500 hp wink wink what do you think.

Gary I think that would be acceptable only if we have the engine dyno'd by Johnny Saris. Maybe after u get it done he can come listen to it and verify its only 500.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
