If it's a stock 200 I think you should be able to race in F200.
Otherwise it'll be basic races all with way.

It includes the entire 200hp fleet -
3C (Ian Stirling, B23's, argos, Adam's cat etc)
Ribs (Cookee, Andy Twemlow etc)
And any 'production' boats like yourself - so far only had 1 revenger rib.

Since the xr2 and xs200 also have offshore mids, I would expect (and hope) it'd be OK, but you'd need to check, but dunno with who cos it's all gone very quiet at the moment.

Don't think therewould be a problem with that.

Guess any decision would be made by the Formula 200 steering committee - which if I remember correctly is Rory Power, Brian Peedell, Bob Irwin, Richard Strawford.

The engine would be fine - it would be in production class along with Phantom 18's etc, the minimum length for class III 2 litre / 200 hp is just over 21', but I assume from the number it's 6 metres?

For 3C - agreed.

For F200 "Production", there was discussion regarding length, but I notice it's not in the guidelines, just states (paraphrasing a bit) 200hp hardboat.

At the Safety & Technical meeting we agreed to lower the minimum length to 18ft to encourage all of those Marshans, Rings, Phantoms of under 21ft with 200HP motors, running on a basic type course.
Matt

Thanks Simon.

Guess a member of the F200 committee needs to insert it in the guidelines then.
