03-23-2018 12:21 PMHopefully, with the changes, there will actually be some competition instead of a parade too.

03-23-2018 12:26 PMPlus, the really big deal, both the second and the third place boats in SuperCat (aka Superboat), had a higher average speed for the three days than the second place boat in Extreme.
Go figure.......Last edited by Ratickle; 03-25-2018 at 12:14 AM.

03-26-2018 12:39 AMAnd Matt is correct. There was not one Extreme boat who made the entire distance at the Key West Worlds this year. Not one.......
5 of the 6 Supercats went farther than any of the Extremes.Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!

so about 135 miles total with 2 multiple day pit stops thrown in and they are changing the rules because they can't get boats to go the distance without breaking, not to mention they have shrortened the laps to the point that they barely get out f the harbor..... Does anybody else read these words, shake their heads and seriously say WTF ???? I don't care how much you spend, how big and bling you your boat is or how cool your crew shirts look,P-4077 "The Swamp" S.B.Y.C. and Michigan medboat mothership

Don't hold back.... I realize my views are rather critical, but they are just that, my on views. Though I don't race boats I have spent years competing in other forms of motor sports that have shaped my opinions. I know not everyone would agree with me either whole or in part, just as racing means different things to different people.

03-31-2018 09:15 AMThat is why I was saying a 40' with 1100's would crush the rest of the fleet.
As far as the short courses with lots of laps, yes, those boats were not designed for that.Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!

03-31-2018 10:03 AMits almost comical watching the 50 footers cavitating and porpoising coming into and out of turn#3 in keywest.
like an elephant running full bore toward a block wall and trying to turn around .
