| Information and interest has all disappeared in the last few years. The original parts pistons, cylinder head, tuner have not been available for several years. The entry numbers in Europe for T850 have dropped but the class is still running. Racers are allowed to use some aftermarket parts. https://... |

| Most of the races back then were not sprint type races. They were marathons with a time limit. Much harder on equipment and drivers. The motors were the mercury inline six and the OMC V4. Both motors had been improved over the years and these 99 cubic inch models were the best ever. The team drivers... |

Back then the owners were very pleased with their boats and many had enjoyed them for many years. Any updates or new news on the... |

22 weeks on the marketplace and still not sold
Do any of you hydro guys know what this is or seen it?
Looks like a mercury gearcase, likely electric start. It would be a “C” class but at 60 mph not very competitive, I would think.

The boats are not Mod VP boats like were raced here in the 1990’s. They look more like an offshore type hull. Some have a driver and passenger. It’s still nice to see the V6 motors on V hulls racing in a sprint event.

| That ModVP hull really seemed to have an advantage over the rest of the field. He even backed off to keep it interesting. I have seen one of those boats advertised for sale here in Ontario years ago with a 650xs. Not sure if anyone ever put a 56 OMC on one of those hulls or not? Unfortunately the o... |

| There was another MOD VP hull that ran in EP after the Quebec boats . Speedmaster Marine purchased the Rankin Marine “POP” boat Sport C molds. He had Marty B add a center pod to the bottom making it a MOD VP. Marty used the lower portion of a delta boat for the center. Tammy W raced one for I believ... |

| In 1998 the hometown of the MVP EP raceboats had their first and what ended up being there only CBF OPC race. With the 1997 successful showing at the Canadian Nationals they wanted to show case their boats in front of their home town. They didn’t realize the difference the 70 Yamaha and the new 60 m... |
