Howdy,
There's even a few drawings of the differant views. If you can't wait for the rule books in the mail , just go to the APBA download page and download the manual, hope it helps

Here is a link to the SO/Mod/PRO rulebook........

It says the PRO section got updated 1/1/10.

Cut and pasted from the rulebook:

22. Modified Outboard, Stock Outboard and PRO Hydroplane
Pickleforks and Cockpit Noses

A. MODIFIED AND PRO: On all MO hydroplane hulls built
after October 31, 2007 and all PRO hydroplane hulls built after
October 31, 2008, the foremost points of the pickleforks shall
have a minimum radius of 1” in one view. This minimum radius
shall extend at least 45 degrees to both sides of the foremost
point. At 90 degrees to this radius conforming view, the foremost
points on the picklefork will have a minimum thickness of 3⁄4”.
This minimum thickness shall extend at least 45 degrees to both
sides of the foremost point. (See diagram.)

1). All MO hydroplane hulls built after October 31, 2007 and all
PRO hydroplane hulls built after October 31, 2008 where the
cockpit nose extends forward of the body of the hull, shall
have a cockpit nose that conforms to the same requirements
for shape as the picklefork foremost points described in
paragraph A above.

2) Half oval aluminum rub molding may be used around the
foremost points of PRO and MO pickleforks and cockpit
noses, provided the molding is at least 1⁄2” wide.

3). Pickleforks and cockpit noses that conform to UIM
specifications are also legal in PRO (See UIM SPONSON
TIPS diagram).

hope that helps

Pat, IMHO that is exactly what this sport needs. people to go to the extra mile and put on races where they have not been for many years.

Thanks Guys

Ok a piece of 2 ' exhaust pipe 1/2 way around. Thanks . . Pat , I have been going to races based on if there will be a class for Jack to race. There have been some Vocal soap box cryers saying that we need new motors to get new drivers .. I think we need More LOCAL races, between SSOA and COA we now have 6 race weekends within 2 hours of the center of Region 1 .. Now with the PRO race and the new Middletown race we can race 8 race sights for 17 races and be home by 8 on Sunday night (in time for school Monday ). Thanks for all the work to get a new sight ( I know what it takes --- X2 . Some regions close to us only have 1 race , not a good way to get someone to spend 10000.00 on a new set up and have to drive 8 hours to race in another region. We have another " NEW" Racer coming to Stock in region ! .. we continure to grow ..
