Two thousand eight hundred HP per ton. Its gotta be the fastest thing out there. This as about 10 times the HP per ton of a class 3 boat.

I know "your" motor with all its mods might be making 3500hp to achieve that statistic, but I reckon everyone else is probably a bit lower.

Actually the boat must be 1490 kg at the end of the race, with 320HP so this gives 215 GG's per ton ( about )
Except for my boat, which has a hidden compressor, turbo and nitros oxide injection. So I do actually produce the 2800HP claimed. ( I even added water injection at the last race! )

Perhaps the women in LA are not so good to view, so they make it all foggy in there, so you cant really see. Then - to avoid trading standards problems - they have to lable it correctly....
