No minimum weight for Ray's intended class. ODBA's Pro Drag or DSRA's Outlaw. Rules are the same for both. No minimum weight-any fuel- no nitrous. ODBA runs 800 ft, DSRA runs 660 ft

The boats aren't much heavier than that now and, in my opinion, better for drag racing than a Champ/F1 boat

After looking very hard, I cannot identify any ignition parts near the top bearing. What kind of ignition are you running? That thing is BADAZZ!

Could a mid/bracket like that be made of stainless tubing for saltwater use?

Sure . I would want to use 316 seamless tubing. All the lugs would need to be machined from round bar stock ... not fun to work with , not as strong, but it can be done ..

My Bracket/Mid/Swivel/Adapter with tuner weighs 100 pounds

Of course it would have to trim as well.
