I began racing these boats this year and I'm having a blast doing it. These boats run about 80 mph on the river, using a a lightly modified (flywheel, exhaust, lower unit, and prop) 50 horse Merck. the course varies depending on the river but for instance lets take the Rogue River Course we run 2 laps about 13 or so miles a lap, everyone runs one direction down the river, then we wait for all the boats to arrive at the checkpoint, then run back upriver to the start finish line. This avoids any possibility of a head on collision.
If men could have multiple orgasms....this is what they would feel like!
