    SS/CatOutboard St Clair

    Hey Rick, you never know what can happen, your boat won the miami grand prix in 2006 in SS with a 4 or 5 boat field. "To finish first, first you must finish" and we were the only ones left. good luck Tague

    Let's try a different approach

    Cheating goes on, there is no question about it. There are rules in the book on protests,teardowns and penalty's. If I knew for a fact that one of the other teams in my class was cheating. I would spend the money and tear them down in a second. Most teams that I have seen get there butt's...

    Let's try a different approach

    Ryan, we were the same $5000 a race is right on the money. and I don't remember but I think Diamond charged me like $175.00 a gear case to open up, inspect and re-assemble. I can do that 10 times before I spend the money on a blown up one.

    Let's try a different approach

    I think if I was in your shoe's I would buy a canopied cat with a set of stock 2.5 200 carb motors, 2.4's anything that you could get some seat time in and at a low cost. P class race it and when you get ready sell it and go into Stock with that boat or buy another. here is one option, this...

    Let's try a different approach

    This is the funniest thing that I have ever seen. Let me give you some facts about SS In 2007 I had fresh powerheads on my boat. I raced the whole year and never rebuilt one. The year before I raced 10 races on 2.5's that had 50 hours on them when I got them. Never rebuilt them. Gear cases...

    Let's try a different approach

    My feeling is if you truely want change in the sport. And are serious about it, then the only way to do it is by getting involved. And by involved I mean putting your time and money on the line. I once again ask the question I did in an earlier post. What would it take for you to spend the...

    Let's try a different approach

    It is my understanding that p-class racing was started so that the poker run guy or the weekend warrior had a place to race. Because as I said before it is not for everyone. P class allows you to get your start and see if you like racing with basically a pleasure boat. And when your ready to...

    Let's try a different approach

    (How many boats out there do not currently race head to head because rules were changed to give the manufacturer, or someone, a class the boat could win???) Now we're getting somewhere...people got out of the sport like me, for one reason or another...and now want to come back. But people that...

    Let's try a different approach

    What I love most about this sport is not everyone can do it. I don't care how much time and money you have, boat racing can eat you alive. It's dangerous and expensive. I find it funny that so many people complain about how things are so messed up and racing would be better if it was...
