If you were in Region 1 over the weekend, you probably saw Jeff Brewster testing a sealed motor in CSR. I'm on the 302SSH Hydro committee, and am proposing that we start to collect data for a sealed runabout class to bring a new class proposal to the national meeting. I'm hoping this will help drive the runabout class, as the 302 Hydro has been a great success. A lot of runabout drivers I have talked to, are very excited, and now it's time to get the right specifications in and tested for a safe, fun ride. To do this, I'm asking for some help. Thanks to a few Region 6 drivers, we have a test boat for short course, but I'm looking for a marathon boat as well. Can you imagine a sealed marathon class where the speeds are the same, and it comes to driver skill? 10 of them in Indian river under the bridge at the same time? Anyways, I have had numerous offers to borrow a boat, but due to height restrictions, I can't accept the offer of a loaner, because we need to cut down the transom. Do you have a C marathon boat your not using? If this price is right, I'm in the market immediately. Please let me know. I would love to start gathering data as early as Trenton this weekend.
For the test data, I'm planning on finding a suitable ride, and then placing a number of different drivers in Region 6 races on the course. I'll pay for the entrance fees, and the SORC has provided a motor for testing, we just need to find the hull.
