That leads me to a question. How do you measure length? Is it the over all including the platform? Or is it like old APBA where you measure the top of the transom to the tip of the bow? Does the platform have to remain?

Got it.
20. Hull and Deck Measurement - All race boats shall be measured from the top of the bow to the top of the transom on the centerline of the hull with the keel level to the ground. Swim platforms, rubrails and any parts attached to the transom are not to be included in the measurement.
21. Hull Extensions – No extensions to meet minimum length.

To me no cut down means remove nothing below the rail. Length is a different story.
Adding canopies comes dangerously close to One Offs. The Class Killer.

I can't even find anything in the rules that requires a canopy so far. But, I'm still reading....

In OSS, it is rule 9 in the general requirements for all pro classes.

Thanks
9. Canopies – All boats, except Vee and PRO AM boats, competing in OSS events must be equipped with canopy safety systems, including canopy hatches (lids) fitted with positive open and positive close mechanisms, five point restraint harness systems and on-board air systems.

That would be a tricky one, with the fact that its a stand up, the cg would be a complete mess unless you were to cut it down(it would then be a 25-26 lol), to many factors and too much expense, it would be cheaper to buy a Phantom/Extreme and with all due respect to Fountain as I love the product line, you would be in a proven boat.

Sarasota water was great. I thought the course was to short needed maybe 1 or 2 more miles.
Orange Beach is great
Biloxi is great
St Clair
Those are my top 4
Great race courses and the People are into the racing

That was your First Ocean race wasn't it? It was my first SVL race.
I really like that site. The marina at the inlet is probably complete now. Last year the race boats tied up there and staged before the race.
