Years ago, I know ugh!, in early 90's there was a Factory Class, stock 330's, single mod 2.4, stock 2.5. They ran just over 60 in calm conditions. Very fun.

Jimbo tell us about you running my 21 Shadow in the Worlds in Key West

This is Todds first boat he built, It's just under 29ft, He won one race on calm water, he was getting a weight break because it's shorter than the max for the class 32Ft. but they took that away

and at that length he can't handle the bigger water, He has a 32 on the way, so he's just working on getting the 24 finished up this year.
He has a dream...

Class 7 there were 6-7 boats this weekend.

To those saying 60 isn't fun, the water these guys were running 60 in are my home waters, and to maintain that speed for 20+ miles is pretty impressive.

Regardless it's a fairly easy way to get into racing at a somewhat affordable pricepoint.

not sure. next time I go to a race I'll have a chat with them. Anyone else know?

from that distinctive bump on the center of the deck, reminds me of an Activator 22

Noli, you are correct about the Activator "bump"
The Statement Marine team consists of a 22 Activator (747) and a 22 Velocity (759)

Yup, I see both now.

I was thrown off thinking by statement built them, and the wraps hid some lines.
