correct me if im wrong. that is a 30 footer w/twins and trs drives. i believe it would be allowed to run class 5. However, it really should be in class 4 (IMO). Not sure if it still has original power in it. It was a very competitve boat a few years back.

yes, pretty sure it's a 30 w/ orig power and TRS drives I believe. Steve Berk owns it now (Lucky Strike)

class 5 is 30ft and under single or twin engine according to page 25 of the 2010 OPA "working" rulebook

From what I remember there were a couple twin small block boats grandfathered in and the thought was twins should jump up to 4. Again Smitty is more than fair on this so if it fits in 5 it would go in 5 (but i suspect its a 4 / 85mph class boat even as it sits).
Class 5 (75mph) , I would think class 4 (85mph) would just be a little much for the old girl IMHO.

I'm thinking 5. I wasn't really thinking about it until today. I've been in the boat and always liked it

Back in 04, When Bill Gazel owned it, SBI allowed him to run P-5. Citing he was grandfathered in.
In 2004, P-5 SBI/APBA Rules were 28 feet max, single engine. I doubt very much it would be allowed to run P-5 in SBI these days.

Yes he was! Billy, call Smitty. He'll let you know everything, 732-920-3945.

But from what he said he was running 2.5/200hp's motors, not 2.5/280's and thats a big difference IMHO

The only issue with five is the added stability of twin screws is really a pretty big advantage since the races are won in the corners. But again smitty will do whats fair. Either way get that old girl back on the course!!!

Depends on what is in it. Used to be a runner. Not so sure about class 5. If you are serious, call me. We will find a competitive spot for you. Smitty

I'd have to get used to running a non-step smaller boat again. But I'm sure it would be a blast. I'm going to call Steve and talk about the boat
