Phenomenon Update—New Props Coming

[7xchamp]

I believe...and I may be wrong...that the only UIM recognized record classes are those designated as "National" Classes, therefore local classes would not be eligible. That having been said, I am unsure what, if any, classes are currently designated as National or local and/or eligible for records......... Maybe the lack of records recently has something to do with the fact that the classes are too plentiful and undefined.

Correct: UIM only recognizes national and UIM european affiliates classes. That`s why we had to go to such lengths for the open class record, since we ran the turbo motors we were penalized due to the 1.4 rule. UIM and open class boats were allowed 1,000 inches, 500 inches each, since we ran turbos in the class we had to run destroked big blocks down to I think 358 cu in, or 338, cant remeber, I think 358. We turned the motors 8,500 and pulled 60 inches of mercury, or roughly 18 lbs of boost, HP was approx. 1,100 each. We actually had telemetry on the big boat, and the engineer ( Larry ) could dial in boost and spark as we were doing our runs, Talk about weird sensations, runnining 160 mph and watching the gauges move around to near overheat to less RPM while the sticks were burried. The wiring harnesses for the boat were $75,000 to enable the telemetry. As I said it cost a lot of money in development, setup, and actual staging. The superboat V record was also official and recognized by the UIM as an official APBA class, same as four engine superboat which Gentry and John Connor set at 148 mph. I can`t believe you have not seen a UIM certificate I have described, If I can figure out how I will try and show it here.

Anyone remember when Planetman set the SBI speed record in Barnegat Bay at like 177 or something? SBI used two boats anchored in the middle of the bay with stop watches.

Here he comes....ready....mark!

Gotta love it. I think he paid some good money to SBI for that "Record".

Correct: UIM only recognizes national and UIM european affiliates classes. .....

UIM actually recognizes:

"- All U.I.M. series and classes
- American Powerboat Association classes
- Prototypes"

This will definitely go under the prototypes definition. But - as previously posted elsewhere, you will have to look at UIM rules §6xx
