Clarification Of My Post
Seems I ruffled a few feathers on the Primary category being Mod to be a Mod Commisioner. It is nothing personsal, just my opinion. To truly have the categories best interests at heart, it needs to be your primary concern. To be a senator of California you need to be a California resident, not a New York resident.
Gearboxes - Tell me where I can buy a new 45ss gearcase for a reasonable amount ? Yamato and Konny are still the cheapest priced out there, and the gears are inexpensive as well. Much less than a Mercury I know. Now then, tell me where I can buy a new Yamato right now, or a new Konny right now. Or a new Merc right now. Or a new Bass right now. If we open up the gearcase rules some, and allow any gearcase we might be able to buy some gearcases and have them at the end of the week instead of this ridiculas year long process crap.
I would never support power trim on a Hydro. It would be nice to have, yes. It would change the way a typical hydro is built today. If you allow something that can slam the front down when you want to turn, we will essentially have a hydro that turns on a dime. All we would need to do is change a couple things. Then the overlap rule needs addressed. Then you have a whole new breed of hydros that everyone needs to go out and purchase to be competitive. Lets face it, FEH (850CCH) is one of the most inexpensive classes to race if you are a Mod guy. You can build one yourself for well under a grand. If you want to purchase one already built you have to spend the bucks.
Ron, you want a FEH ready to go ? All you have to do is ask. I have a boat ready to sell you. Provide the engine from one of the engine builders, and there you go. Easy as pie. Call Benson in your area, he builds some fast stuff. Call Ed Runne, he sells turn key engines as well. Tim Kurzc in MI also can build you a engine. You have options. Have Dawe build you a laydown boat, or JDS in your region..... or Sorenson, all you have to do is do it. Two of the three boat builders have proven FEH's allready out there that i know of. Lopez ran the Sorenson and Akers runs a JDS. Both are super fast from what I hear.
If you want to combine the 45 tunnels with FEH in your area go for it. You can run a special event I would imagine. If you can get the FEH's to agree on it you don't need a special class to do it currently. As you already stated it would be for fun no points and give both a chance to test. Take videos of them racing together and post it for evidence that it works or does not. Then you might convince some it is a good idea. Personally I think the 45 tunnels already have enough classes to race. SST45 and 45SS. Does any one boat and engine need more than two classes to race in ? in stock they can already use almost every engine is almost every class. OSY vs CSH and then restrict it down to race 25SS I think. The A class has an infinate number of classes it can race in.
Danny, FEH was created in Pro ? I was not aware of this. I always thought Dad and Harry brinkman created it in Mod in APBA and AOF adopted it as well. I know we had a blast coming out to the AOF races back then. A lot of our closest friends were met in the AOF days. Tell Dale hey, and hope you guys are killing the ducks. I have had a decent season so far, ends this weekend.
