The problem is, when the inevitable happens, the grossely unpopular and so-not-green wasteful sport of powerboat racing will get torn appart by all & sundry, the lawyers, the QHM, the green lot... will rush in and jump on the band waggon declaring how "stupid, irresponsible and wastefull it is anyway".
Do we really need to give them the perfect vehicle for that crusade?
All this stuff about 'it can't be helped' and thinking you're the first ever powerboat class to have any competitive spirit which drives this is such bollox! get over yourselves FFS.
I shaln't comment further on this, it's pointless.

any tips jon

I reckon sponsors would be falling over themselves to get involved in this.
