I think it would be a Great Class 3 boat... But there isn't a Class 3 anymore...

Why is there no P-3? no boats?

I still think the class should be available instead of misplacing boats. Im just saying if I showed up with a 30 single engine, its tough enough to keep up with the larger twin engines, but add a canopy and we're toast.

Then again I do remember Miklos beating a 39 Phantom SV in KW some years back. OH well... It it what it is.

Then if that boat is in p4 then the throttleman need to keep an eye on the speed not to go more than 90 mph or else there will be a penalty and lose alot of good points for the world title.

I am not on of those racers who are looking for easy pickings I am looking for a RACE. I support SBI because of their integrity toward racing. When I first purchased the boat I was told I COULD NOT run P-5 because it is not a P-5 boat and I agree. It would not be fair to the guys in P-5 to have this boat in the class just as it is having P-3 boats in P-4. I understand that there wasn't enough P-3 boats to have a class but there are enough now. I hear conflicting stories about the opening of P-3 is it open or not? It does not take an act of congress to open class P-3 just John. We all have to pay 2011 equipment fees then why do we have to wait for rule changes. I was always told that the worlds was the start of the new year. Don't tell me that they don't make rule changes at this time of year. The creation of the Super V Extreme class came right before the worlds a couple of years ago in order to preserve the integrity of racing. Something has to be done before the worlds it is the only fair thing. Can anybody tell me why these 100 MPH boats are in P-4. Are they to scared to run their boats at the speeds they were DESIGNED to run at or are they looking for "easy pickings"? With all the other disagrements going on in the world of offshore racing this one seems to be the simplest to fix but it is still broken.

can i run p 4 in the screammachine if i remove the blowers? isn't it a bracket class?

Class 3 all day. Like I said the roof changes everything.

100 mph or not that Fountain tries to turn in the harbor with Simmons and its loopdy lou. I also don't see any problem with singles running with the twins, the twins don't necessarilly need moved up, Bruce remember your win over us in point pleasant i think, rough as hell you were pickin up water on one leg and dumping the other way, twins and boat length didn't get it done for us that day, you guys were ON.

yep, i remember that win. it was a tough one. I just think a twin with canopy doesnt belong in P4.
