Qatar To Run Former Reliable Carriers Cat in Superboat Class Written by Matt Trulio Friday, 29 March 2013 12:13 With the acquisition of the former Reliable Carriers offshore raceboat, a 42-foot-long Marine Technology, Inc., catamaran, the Spirit of Qatar team has added a third boat to its...

Did they have any races last yr?

Not sure if that equipment is avalible or it would have been used. A few of the teams are Cert Merc dealers and no one has said anything about it. But for sure would be interesting to find out. Merc is keeping that pretty close to the vest from what I have seen.

Chris , If you are in Biloxi, we might try and have a class meeting, we can go over it in more detail then. Steve K had some very good idea also on how it would work.

Thanks for the info Paul, should be fun.

Chris nothing is being done for 2013, and possible it wont change at all. Just looking at some different ideas, with the 525's going away soon it might be a good time to have something lined up. The class would ofcourse vote on anything before any rules were changed , or even thought about being...

More great info. ...I dont even own a boat sorry. First time I ever raced SVL was with Mark in Absolutely Not and he only ran SBI so sorry again that was 2011. The divide in the class has been for yrs way before I even thought about SVL . It goes back as far as OSS, when certain teams wanted...

Looking forward to Biloxi never been should be fun. This will be a switch for SBI teams racing in some flat water, new setups and new challenge's. Also guys I think we are racing clockwise right hand turn oh boy fun fun.

Some positive input or fresh idea's would be nice for a change, what a novel idea.....but no lets just keeping beating up on each other till we beat the sport to death....Thanks

That not true thats a major point, SBI does have tech, and is monitored very closely. The changes have nothing to do with a few odd boats. We are POSSIBLE talking about motors not boats so not sure what a few odd boats have to do with that, if you remember corretly OSS was the one that opened...

One of the reason we change it was the fans,they would ask all the time what SVL meant ( APBA was Lite SBI was limited ). I dont really know myself not sure what Lite,or Limited meant. They would ask if it was liter then other boats, limited to speed ...Ect. So with the rule changes it was a...

The builders would get together same as they did with the Superboat class and spec it out. Not sure just what it would be but I'm sure they have a good idea. I've spoke to Frank at Scorpion in great length.

Randy I didn't say anything about you being crazy. I did say it was crazy to pay Merc $10,000 for a rebuild when it can be done for much less. But if you are good with it go for it.... I like to spend my money a little wiser. Also don't think I ever mentioned OPA, Paul asked a questuin I told...

The class can decide, and we'll see what the motor builder suggest. I think 5600 will be the magic number.

Awesome by your last post I see we agree what teams will try and fudge the system. With that said I guess we both agress teams are doing that now. So now that we are straight with that, I have a question for you, what Org. is checking boxes RIGHT NOW for RPM?? Thats kind of an easy one NO ONE so...
