I'm fine either way on motors you won't hear me making a big stink about it, especially for 4. But take a boat like the condo. That boat needs big power to run competitively in 4. What's wrong with some low boost whipples in it? It'd take a crap load of power to make it run in a 90 mph class you know that Brian.


BTW, Bubba!?! Da hell! :D

Don't be offended, I have a habit of calling everyone bubba. I think you are under estimating how well the bus is gonna go with staggered 700's .I run 509/600's in mine and have no intention of running any more than that.

i was told in class 5 & 6 it was an un-written rule(maybe it is written now) that you had to run a "bravo style" out-drive...2 years ago Doug contacted the "authorities" about installing a NXT on the DCB...we were shut down, or pushed to class 4...

not picking on the PFE guys, just curious if this is going to stick or is it a free-for-all?? speedmaster's are a clear advantage in my opinion, yeah they rob some horsepower but your never gonna break one, not to mention the 12" skeg and nose-cone/bullet thats 2ft long...lol...if were gonna allow them...fine...but make it known so we can cut a bigger hole while we still have time:lolhit:
i was thinking that the bravo rule was put in place to keep the hp down, lets face it, a 30ft lightened up race boat should not need a #5 "speedy" to go 75...lol...whats everyone else think??

Rule Book??????????????? Whats that Jake?:lolhit:

I appreciate that but we added a **** ton of weight to the bus up front. We also set the drive heights where Dan told us it would turn and handle the best but be 3-5 mph slower than optimal. Were thinking maybe low 90s if we ever propped it out.
Im diggin the bus btw :lolhit:

Jake I agree with all of that!

I think a 39 foot limit is fair, especially considering you guys did well in 3 this year. I understand your predicament if 3 were too vanish, but if there;s good racing in 3 in 2013 I don't see why you'd come to 4.

By the way Gary sorry about your class 5 thread man lol

Ok soo what everyone seems to be saying is that I am practically the same boat as 531. You all know it I'm not going into detail but I run blowers so i am immediately moved to class 4 which I knew that last year but just couldn't get the boat together. This year I will run 4 and your telling me I pretty much don't have a shot running against a bigger boat over 40ft. What happened to the sportsman type racing I was told would be going on. I'm a bit confused my tiny blower boat has no chance of winning unless everyone breaks or breaks out.

Please clarify

Your boat will be more than competitive setup the way it is brotha, against the class the way it is now. Against a 41 Apache capable of running Class 3 speeds? Nah lol.

yayyyyyy winter
