Hey guys....the P2 Class is turning into one of the biggest class's of racing....with the Tech and performance getting better and better every year on race boats its hard to have a compeditive boat thats a few years old....but we are finding out there are alot of older Super Vee's still out there....and with most of the older ones running from 98 to 103 mph the P-Class is a great place for these boats to run without spending all the money to continue to test and update to new equipment...
We now have 4 Super Vee's ruinning in SBI in P2 and one with a open canopy and all running close to the same speeds...with us being capped at 102mph plus all you other boats out there that are running at 100mph...
There are alot of boats still out there that fit this class, like...
Fury
Lisa M fountain
Bill M Skater
Scream Machine
Bad Boys Powerboats
Wanted
Black Pearl
Plus a number of other open cockpit boats that fit this class....
I know a lot of time and money has gone into some of the Fountains, Skaters and Outerlimts Super Vee's and are running from 109 to 117 mph...and thats great but that makes a lot of the older Super Vee's boats no longer compeditive...and its great to se them still run in Super V or P-1...
But the P-2 Class has open the door to a lot of boats that are true 98 to 103mph boats...proping down a 109 to a 116mph boat to run 101 with great excelleration or a boat with 700 hp will always out run the true 101 mph boat....thats why this class will grow...a lot of us are all running XR drives, have the same gears and weight about the same and have close to the same HP....boats that were built in 1995 or 2005 still have the same chance to win....
I know OPA's P-3 Class is close to SBI's P-2 Class and some Super Vees are running in P-3 with OPA...so this class could have as many as 14 boats plus in Key West for the Wolrds...
Also another big plus, the entry fees are $675 in SBI and free in OPA and both have prize money....so it makes the Class very affordable...when moast of us are use to paying $1600 to $1800 to enter...
Guys this a grat oppertunity to race in a class were the cost is low and the competition is very close no matter how old of boat you have.......
I will also be looking at adding a additional prise purse to the P-2 Class if we can get some more boats out there...
