you want more people to turn up then stop trying to be such an ELITE bunch and go back to basics.

its simply got to expensive to race nowdays.

and keep the engine size to what it should be with a maximum no matter who makes the engine.

LOL...elite how so? our t750 boat has a 30+ year old block I bought the entire motor for $200 and freshened it up, cut the head. The racing doesn't get any cheaper unless you go to hydro.

i dont think the words cheap and racing have ever really fit together.. especially when you throw the word BOAT into the equation.

what are you worried about anyway phillinjack? i strongly disbelieve you have any clue what really goes on in any form of racing.. let alone Canadian boat racing.. :roll:

sounds reasonable to some folk I suppose, was that Canadian dollars or US dollars ?
for here in the uk that would be mega cheap . strange how it didn't sell over there if 7500 is so easy to fork out..
