I know there is no HP cap on class 5 from what i understand but what about the drive.
Is the Ilmor 625 or 650 and Indy drive legal..not trying to change any rules...just trying to pick a good package out..

625/650 with a Indy.. I would see no reason why not. Dont a fair amount of the boats in #5 push more than 625/650hp already?

Thats what I understood....I think the smallest hp being run is the 525 which is around 560...so I would think either the 625 or 650 is OK...but just want to make sure of that and the drive.

Thanks...I was going to ...but I know the Class 5 guys are pretty up to date on things and if there was something in hard ink...I figured I get the info here...before I purchase it I will get Smittys blessing...just want to price out the right equipment first.

Who is the class Rep for 5... its been a while since I was in the loop

I thought the class rep. was the previous years champ. That would make Specialized Racing (Mark Gallagher) the rep for 2010.

Gino,
I don't believe that he frequents the boards.

Send a PM to Biggus (Kurt) on here. He is a neighbor of Marks and can give you his number.

Gino I would ask Ilmor to build you at least 750 -800 HP if you want to stay dry. We are putting a twin Whipple 1200HP on pump 91 gas with a #6 drive in this year.

The truth?! You can't handle the truth! :kiss:

I would have taken video but you really cant see behind you in a batboat too well :seeya: Lets just say it starts out in the middle of Lake Michigan with a loose seapump hose and ends with running circles around a certain red Donzi at about 80 in some nice size waves....:sifone:



Hahahaha this is gonna be a fun year I can already tell!

Geez Gino I am so surprised with you. Taking a boat that with a 525 ran 85-88 miles an hour and dropping in a 625. Are you that scared of the "Flying Coffin" that you need to put that much power in your new rig?:sifone:

You know I am playin, I really dont care what motor you put in it, I am just glad your back racing again!!!!

ohhhhhh Smitty... Beaks and swim platforms dont count do they? W/o em I'm only 26 ft and since I have an itty bitty motor, how does Class 6 sound for me? :willy_nilly::willy_nilly::willy_nilly::sifone:

Thanks..

I think Ilmor has a great product and is great compitition for Mercury Racing, nothing against Merc. I see a great opertunity to there product for our next project..but just the thought of the flying coffin scares me...

See ya soon

What was the answer?????

After talking to Smitty...most guys are runing in the 625+ so either the Ilmor 625 or the 650 will work...we also talked about the drive...there is no real cap on the drive, with the Ilmor 650 we will probalby go with the Indy drive...if we go with the 625 we might just leave on the XR...
for what I have paid for XR's and rebuilding them its something I would like to just have a engine drive package and not have to worrie about..

but either way we will not be able to run over 75mph...

Plus....we might put little Bobby in the bow for ballast wrapped in bubble wrap...that should slow us down to 74.9999

The last time I saw "little" Bobby about two months ago, he's been eating good. Round lil' fella so you may have to re-think this one..

I heard Bobby was not missing any meals....that's why we are thinking the Indy drive to handle the extra load....:willy_nilly:
