I think many have tried but the speed leads to issues with insurance and safety. You can come out and run the 2.4 or 2.5 (with the class chairmans approval) as long as you don't stay in the back of the pack. Better yet, you can pick-up a used 2.0 liter for a few bucks and it will simply bolt on to your existing mid-section. Mercury Racing also has a few new drop-on 2.0 liters for sale that are legal in COR 2.0.
I didnt know Mercury had any left. Im going to have the first new redesigned Sleekcraft out of the mold and rigged in mid January. I spoke with Rod earlier today after I posted this. Ill have pics of the new boat after I assemble the hull and deck in case anyone has an interest in a new Sleek.
This is exactly what the COR class needs! Any idea what the cost will be ? The Sleeks are already fast, any improvements to the bottom will be welcomed by the class. Keep us posted. Capnzee

That sounds like exciting news. Where are you building the new boats? How much has it changed?

Theyre being built in Maine.
Theyre being built in Maine. The main changes are on the bottom. I really like the way the deck was so I left it alone.

Mike Nass up in Canada is also just finishing a new mold for the HNR. Real nice looking boat.
