    Stop reinventing the wheel and bring back class 2 while still offering a SV, SVL and SS (If boat count and people want it)

    Class 1: 115
    Class 2: 105 (bring back)
    Class 3: 95
    Class 4: 85
    Class 5: 75
    Class 6: 70

    Super V (Open speeds)**
    SVL (Open speeds) **
    SuperStock (Open speeds)**

    ** Spec classes will be run if 4 or more boats show up.

    If your Apache can run 100mph, there is no reason you can not win it C2. Especially in the rough water. The Fountains in C2 run 105 at the very end of smooth water straights some times.

    My goal my rookie year was just to stay alive. You'll have all the excitement you can handle I'm sure. Good luck and stay dry!

    Exactly, build a boat for a class not a class for a boat.

    The only thing I would like to see is a way to get all the 525 Bravo Vees to run in the SV class, even if it requires a little help with hp or weight for the non Fountains.

    I know that Bill is set up to run C3 and it would cost $ to change the set up, so it is nothing that should be forced on anyone.

    I Would not want to have Bill rebuild either, but my comment was more directed at "to many class" statement.

    1st sounds like u need a fukin boat, second, stand on the beach or on a breakwater an listen to the coments people make, people who don't know the rules, just think we are all out there racin each other not in seperate classes and if the big cats or vees are runnin at the same time they are always the winners. so i stick to my answer TO MANY CLASS'S ALREADY!!!! ps. my chit can sit on the trailer as far as i am concerned, I'll just race my drag car instead.

    I am better with that idea than more class's, and i have been workin on runnin with the super vees, but it starts to add up $$. the only way to really be competative would be to rerig the whole boat and put different drives on it or get a different one. Theres just not enough return on all of that investment to move forward with that option
