This isn't meant to stir the pot. I have been away from racing for a bit and I remember this being a topic of contention. I am just building a boat and want to make sure I have the current rules right and see if any changes were coming.
LSO: According to 2007 Rules
This is a non-records class and falls into the P voltage rating with all cells
wired in series, no paralleling of packs or cells. The intent of this event is
to stimulate Offshore Racing as sponsored by the American Power Boat
Association (A.P.B.A)
Boat Specifications
1. Boat must be inboard powered.
2. Boat will be painted/coloured in the sprit of racing and must include
sponsor's name, logo, and/or a racing number affixed to hull (a local,
national, or fictitious sponsor name is acceptable).
3. Boat must have driver and crew, and/or simulated enclosed cockpit.
4. Mono’s, Stepped Mono’s and Cats will be allowed.
5. Motor Specifications are the same as Limited Sport Hydro
I assume the max 34" rules applies since its a P class.
With regard to the P voltage rating and not paralleling. So that means no mAh limitations whatsoever? I can remember this was a point of contention and a half a few years back. I can run two 8000 mAh 2s1p packs in series, but not two 4000 mAh 4s1p packs in parallel?
Is this rule set under review, or can I assume this will be in stone.
I mainly ask because this would be one of the few new boats I have that might actually require some new lipos.
