From what I understood Smitty to say at the rules meeting is that class 6 was limited to 650HP. I guess we need to confirm with him.

Actually, I would ask the person "What is wrong with them? Why would you put a #6 drive on a Class 6 boat?"

Thanks JOHN SR

Suggestion, is to talk with the organization, tell them what you already have and make any modifications you may need to fit the class.

Build a boat for the class, the class should not be designed around the boat.
