Brian, there arent that many small SBC boats out there, and most of them fit in Class 6. Besides that, outboards racing against smallblocks/bigblocks doesnt work. Anyone remember when they combined Pro-Stock and Modified? OPA cant make every boat competitive. Calm down my friend.
Good points!
Bri I understand you are frustrated.....but look at it this way....
Perfect excuse to sell your sun, buy a sweet / most likely faster sob & be racing fairly cheap. Good luck.

On a budget and offshore racing is a disastrous mixture to begin with. If the OPA starts trying to build classes for every boat they will more classes than boats.

And if this online chat about SOB class has already got you saying "F-it" I dont see you lasting long in the sport; sorry to say.
