    Growing up on the Niagara river they raced inboard Hydro's and I believe two classes of Ski boats and the conditions were not as nice as those above, I never had a urge to get involved with the inboard stuff, But I use to travel to watch the outboards run.

    Unlimited hydros also great
    We have had piston engined unlimiteds in Australia, ( Miss Bud) the only thing that could give them a run for their money was a 23' KT tunnel boat due to its cornering.

    Plus a one off that went fast, that must have taken some steel onions
