Amateur/Professional ...... professional to me doesnt apply until you can make a living at it... whatever your "it" might be

I added an OSO link to the page.

Also doin' my part to spread the word in the Powerboat Racing group over on Flickr.

Don't believe everything you read, it also says the speeds are between 70 and 170..........WRONG

Anyone can edit the page. It looks like its time someone did. Maybe even list the classes and specs. former champions, current boats of interest, builders, etc... Nothing in there about pro series either.
