From antique Konigs & Crescents to kids class running little Selvas to bat boats, hydros with OSY 400 Yamatos, big offshore boats, small european offshore tunnels, V-6 OMC & Merc tunnel hulls, new medium size tunnel racers (Formula 4 they call it) .... just about every kind of race boat you can imagine .... they pack it into the short Swedish summer:

Wow,the kilo record for S550 (similar to our Sport C class in OPC) is 78.77 MPH! To bad our boats are so heavy and slow.

Yeah, many of their records are much slower than ours. They race in almost any water conditions, they don't have the luxury of waiting for better weather ... this requires them to use clunkier boats. Using small lightly constructed boats causes a lot of race cancellations in the US.

But some of their records are much faster. The Kilo record for Sport C is only 63 mph here in the USA.

Oh, yeah ... now I see that one. I wonder if it is the same Nissan motor we can get here or a slightly different one?
