T for 2 the Family class This idea is a T combo class , SLT style An interesting possibility. The boat would be a 16 to 18 foot V hull. These would be old Chargers, Checkmates, Baja etc. The boat must have twin motors. Each motor is 70 hp. The boat must have a driver and a passenger. There must be a male and a female. So it is two motors and two people Twice as much FUN! |

Why not something cheaper like what they're doing down south Tri-Hull Racing with old inlines and V4's. Boats are cheap motors are plentiful. |

If you check Ron Hill's site there is a tri hull in the V4 140 hp class running twin 70 OMC's. In Europe they do run some classes with 2 people in the boat. The two people can eliminate the need for centre steering and you can use your normal lake boat in a race. The twin motor is just a thought. Single engine with two people would draw more entries. BUT, just like with the twin motors in the tri hull class you could have that option. |
