The stakes have been raised for offshore powerboat racing's Mod V class this season, https://www.speedonthewater.com/opa...with-100000-plus-national-championship-purse/

That is really sweet!!

 

[Ratickle]

I wonder if that will get Simmons back in the game?

maybe that will put the same motor back in svl.

theres a bunch of them out there

Stock svl's can run in mod svl since they changed the rules to allow the stock svl's to be bored out to the increased Cu In and allowed the compression to be raised to the same as mod svl.

Mod svl's cannot run in svl because of the 32' versus 30' maximum length rule.

 

[Ratickle]

The new rule book isn't out yet. Hopefully soon!

how many will smith 29.s are there ? 12 14? Not sure.

extreme 1 and 2 ? 6?

couple oddballs ,
fountain 4?
bandit 1 or 2 ?
lavey ! ?
badboy ?


close to 30 without the 32,s
thats a big fleet to not be on the same page.

let the 32,s run bigger power with a comparable class.

i have always wanted to see svl turn into early F-1
