I agree, but the discussion is how do we ensure the playing field is level. That was all I was proposing, power to weight is a way to level the playing field.

If Cooper would agree, I would provide a prop dyno for POPRA (been thinking about getting one anyways), once you have that info you could assign a weight to the boat and provide a level playing...

You know it is curious that we are focused so much on the HP and engines.

The other factor being boat weight for some reason does not get discussed.

In a way I am embarassed that I have not...

I really just want to know what engine to put in the boat if I am going to race it.

Tyler,

Please do not take anything written here as personal. We have never met and I have heard nothing but good things about you.

Thanks.. this is exactly what I am saying, you are only a racer if you are interested in pushing your self and boat to a limit, propping down does not do that.

What do you do, tell them to not overpower the boat for the class they want to race. It is really pretty simple. If your boat can run 90 race in a 90 mph class and get some balls.

That is the...

Randy,

That is a great question. It is my understanding that class 5 is a single engine under 30' class. Maybe the next step is to say stock power.

Most of these boats have one of the...

I will make you a deal, you come run Long Beach and I will come to St. Clair.

Let me ask you a question, how much tow money would entice you to come $250-300? Maybe we can find it somewhere.
