Boat Racing
Picture yourself traveling at 60 m.p.h., not sitting in your 3,000 lb. steel constructed automobile, but on your knees, inches above the water, bracing yourself into a 125 lb. boat. The boat is designed to break free and run above the water, unlike your car which is designed to hug the pavement. The slightest movement of your body weight affects the attitude of your craft over the ever changing contour of the water. Now picture yourself surrounded by 11 other boats, separated by only a few inches. All boats and motors are the same weight and horse power. Your speeds are so close that one small error can put you behind the competition. Rougher water and the spray of the other boats wet you down, as you wait anxiously for your shot to make up time on your closest opponent, pushing your mind, your will and your body to the limit. Three laps of flawless manipulation - timing your start - staying out of trouble - and outsmarting your 11 competitors, leads you to a top finish. This is just a flavor of the exhilaration pulsing through you, every heat of racing. The heart pounding excitement lasts under five minutes per heat, but stock outboard is guaranteed to leave you thirsting for more.
