[@darrellyoung9586]

As a racer and official of the American Power Boat Association in the 70's - 80's -and 90's it is fun to see racing ia alive and well in NZ

[@crunchied8]

when did the USA which switch to the jet engines just wondering

[@chriscorrigan7420]

What a humdinger of a flip and no injury. Good result

[@JonFJ1200]

Hydros in NZ? Had no idea. Come to Seattle for the unlimited’s in August. I volunteer on the log boom

[@wheresjusty]

I had no idea ! I grew up in Seattle watching the hydros on lake washington sitting in my tube great fun

[@Bald1sbro]

It would be great to have these GP boats in Seattle. I bet they would help draw more of a crowd. Seattle has had a long tradition of power boat racing. these are really fun to watch plus the roar of the engines harkens back to the old piston powered boats. Awesome!!

[@BrainDeadEngineering]

Can that class run super chargers ?

[@franko69]

Yes they can.

[@katrinapaton5283]

All GP hydros do as far as I know. Producing up to 2500hp you kinda have to.

[@NZVideoGuy]

Good content but could use some editing to remove the boring stuff.
