03-22-2011 12:40 AMLOL, if somebody could! Please explain to me why a SSM boat would have any advantage....not talking #6or 8..??????!!!!!!
my word on this is, its slower, heavyer, has a tranny that can break just like a bravo and the props are way more money to replace.
....needs more power to move and is old.
And like i said before, WHY IS IT NOT WRITTEN IN THE RULEBOOK???Last edited by 600sci; 03-22-2011 at 12:47 AM.

03-22-2011 01:14 PMThis is just my opinion but,if its not in the rules then you should be allowed to run with the class 5 boats.Are you sure this is the only discrepency?I dont know what is written in the rules but if its not stated that you need a Bravo style drive (Shiftable)then it needs to be put in there for reasons Dean has stated above

03-22-2011 01:35 PMIts not in there, and i agree with #6 or 8's but a #4,5 or even 3 is no match for a Bravo in a bracket class because it lacks big time in eccselaration!
And as far as i am concerend that is where these races are won!
Also, i dont think anybody is going to build a boat for a 75 MPH class that has a drive for 40K plus on it ..... but hey who knows.Last edited by 600sci; 03-22-2011 at 08:35 PM.

03-23-2011 07:29 AMAs long as your boat is not more than 30ft and meets the rest of the rules,BRING IT! Thats just one more boat I can kick the crap out of this year. Just as a side note! dont go on here and start a bunch of crap unless your really gonna race with us.

It's not your word that matters. The rules are set for a 3 year period and the classes can and have amended them. I seem to remember Class 5/6 voting on this in the past and have said only Bravos. I assume that this is one reason way Smitty also comes on these sites and says to call him when a new Team/Boat wants to race with OPA.

03-23-2011 01:56 PMDean, i understand.
The only thing is everytime i speak to one of the class 5 guys they have nothing against it ..atleast thats what i hear. Plus why is not stated in the roolbook then ?
Last but not least, THE NY RACE ( SBI & OPA ) i think its gonna be awsome but again its gonna be SBI rules and then ( if a class 5 boat shows up ...which i hope they all will ) they have to race me there and probably see ( as they did in OB last year ) that my boat tops out at less then 75 MPH!
Therefor i don't understand this only Bravo rule.
DO THEY REALY WANT TO RACE OTHER BOATS OR IS JUST OPA AND SCREW THE REST ???
I am trying to run both org....because i love boating and racing....but if HUGE rocks like this are thrown infront of my feet....where is the UNITED WE RACE and come on and bring it ???
Funny.

04-03-2011 10:54 AMIs it really only Bravo's? Does it change at Class 4 to where 3's etc are allowed?
Now I'm curious, because I haven't seen anything in the rules about drive types either.
Now the maximum length rule is cut and dried.Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!
