The Key to the success of the class will be to come up with good class rules and then LEAVE THEM ALONE! Lock the rules for at least five years. The only thing that should be changed are those things pertaining to driver safety. What is so complicated about hull size, weight and cubic inches? So what if brand X does not make an engine that maximizes the rules? If it becomes popular enough then maybe they will realize that they need to. This is how things were done in outboard racing's glory days. Remember SE, FJ, SJ? I remember the old 100 c.i. V bottom class. Most guys ran Mercs but it was not uncommon to see an OMC or a Chrysler show up that would give them a run for their money.
