Mark im sorry if I read your post wrong. I thought you were asking why you had to weight 50 pounds more than the other sealed 525 boats. Your boat has been grandfathered in and given a weight reduction on top of that. If you want to race with us in OPA we would love to have you. I know you hate the seal program but that is how the class at OPA believes is the best way.
I have suggested that a rule be put in place that if someone gets cought cheeting with there sealed motor that they get banned from the class for a min. of 2 years. Make the penalty so exteem that maybe its not worth it . A DQ from a race doesnt cut it!!!!

Good idea on the 2 yrs Randy, but you might want to consider tech inspecting every boat in the class on all inspectable items at their first race. Otherwise, the first guy caught sues for losses because he was singled out.

Is that a new one? For the record tractor headers are legal and also bottom modifications are also legal.
