Dba900-I would think the Sutphen would qualify. If at all possible, we need boats to race-this year! We wouldn't want OPA to delete this class if there wasn't enough interest.

Latest I heard was 18-22' with a 250max but they were talking about bringing it down to 225 and a 60 mph bracket but there was talk of bringing it down to 55mph!!

Well get the rules finalized and set so people know what they are doing/buying and setting up :eekdrop:

Yeah, that would be really helpful. I doubt I'd be able to get in on this right now, but this seems like exactly the sort of low-cost racing that will attract more people. I suspect it's going to take more than a year for the class to build momentum, so I hope they give it more than a year. I didn't know they were doing this until I saw this thread. Better publicity would be helpful!

I think 18 would be a mistake. Someone will get hurt. 20-22 and leave it be.

Maybe someone can beak a 18 or 19 to = a 20+
Reggie style:lolhit:

i agree, i think they give the 18' length cause they know people lengthen but i agree.. 21-22

They Should Make It To 24Ft Theres A Bunch Of 24 Superboats Around I Am Sure U Would Attract Those People To Race

I think 22 to 24 is right at the tipping point.
A 22 is a big small boat. A 24 is a small big boat if that makes sense?

TeamSaris 03-16-2013 12:56 AM

24s would have an unfair advantage, you know better than that JD
