with a 75 i doubt it, im sure i can piece together a 2.4l 200 ph if you want to run it for a weekend maby gravenhurst ..

jeff how about no box air or modified air box and a electric fuel pump. on my stock 17' panther.?

reeds ? can we change the reeds ?

is a bobs exhaust snout ok. ?

what about fuel for this premium only?

this there an actual rule book that I can receive for this class ? or can you post the rules for each class . thanks v8

V8 -- All the 2014 rules are a continuance of the 2013 rules as posted. All that you've listed in your post are perfect for Formula rules and allowed ( factory 225hp max ).
See the 2014 Rules post for all three classes.

Jeff in your experiance, what should I be looking for as a prop style for this ?

What RPM limit do you have ? More importantly at what RPM do you make the most HP ?

As far as blade type goes , a Yamaha Sport Cleaver ( Yamaha-Drag ) is the most proven. Small ear choppers have won there fair share of races. Big ear Choppers have been cut to win as well. Stay away from a standard type Cleaver due to the poor grip they seem to have.

I'd think for your RPM vs HP that a True Yamaha Drag that has been worked is the way to go and I'd try a 26" .

by the feel of things.. my motor makes power from 5000 to 6800

put er on the dyno

We had a Panther just like yours with a 200 Merc. I was always impressed with how well it accelerated. I would think your setup could be very strong in Formula! If I ever get a big boat again I would love to try this class!!

I'd try a True worked Yamaha Drag 26"

Remember the very most important thing in drag racing is not how fast you go but how quick you get there. That means getting the boat up and out of the water as quickly as possible ( skid planer , cav plate , fast trim , weight balance etc etc )
And all of those things you may do for quicker acceleration will not hurt your top end one bit

Good thing i have the slowest trim known to man kind...
