Great promo video. Sort of reminds me of running stock runabouts in the 60s.

Cool, thank you.
I hope some in US can start drive Circuit class GT-30 also.

We need a boat like that in the US. Looks like a modern Allison 13 footer if they would have kept building small race boats. With the current economy and gas prices, a fast
fun boat with a 30 horse motor would be a lot of fun. I used to race a Glasspar G3
in the late 60's with a stock 65hp 4cyl Merc. The Allison had just come out and I couldn't
catch them. I'm restoring a G3 right now and my nephew just bought a 13' Allison with a
60 hp looper on it. That boat is a lot of fun around 50mph.
