Tunnel Boat

An Outboard Performance Craft is one of the fastest and most agile vehicles on the planet. Weighing under 450kg, including the driver, it can execute a full 180° turn nearly instantaneously, subjecting the driver to 4g's in the tightest corners. Approximately 6½ meters in length, they are powered by a single V6 two-stroke outboard engine and equipped with a three or four-blade supercavitating propeller. With over 400hp and capable of revving beyond 9,000rpm, these boats can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in under two seconds and achieve top speeds of 250km/h. Hydraulic trim allows the driver to tilt the motor in and out of the water for optimal maneuverability.

Grand Prix

An Inboard Hydroplane is a stunning sight on the water, known for its blistering speed, sleek design, impressive rooster tails, and thunderous noise. Powered by a supercharged V8 engine with a staggering 1,400hp and cranking over 8,000rpm, they can reach speeds up to 260km/h. With a load of around 1,350kg, with the driver, and measuring 7 meters in length, these boats demonstrate extraordinary speed and agilty while throwing massive walls of water into the air. To manage lift and stability, hydroplanes use a canard and rely on a skid fin and rudder for turning.

hulls available after release

Mod-V

An ocean-going vessel, or Offshore boat, featuring a "V" bottom design that slices through waves rather than planing over them. Built to navigate rough water and withstand significant impacts, this boat is powered by a single I/O V8 engine delivering 2,500hp, which drives a five or six-blade propeller at over 9,000rpm. A hull 9 meters in length and colossal mass over 2,000kg, yet still achieving top speeds exceeding 225km/h. To stabilize the hull during plane transitions and sharp turns, the vessel is equipped with hydraulic trim and trim tabs.

Crackerbox

A high-performance Inboard Runabout celebrated for its classic design, nimbleness and speed. Constructed from wood or fiberglass to a length of 4½ meters and weight of 570kg, their compact size, powerful engine, and quick handling make them a favorite among racing enthusiasts who value their nostalgic charm. An inboard V8 engine producing 400hp enables this boat to rocket to speeds of 140km/h and 6,000rpm. It uses a rudder for turning and two stabilizing fins centered underneath the hull to prevent the flat bottom from sliding out in the turns.

Super Stock

A prominent class of Offshore race boats featuring a catamaran-style hull, conquering the waves with minimal resistance, and providing a smoother and faster ride compared to traditional monohulls. Twin outboard engines generate a combined 800hp, rotating the prop shafts 6,000 revolutions per minute, propelling the boat to 160km/h. The enclosed cockpit enhances aerodynamic efficiency and safety, housing two drivers: a wheelman who steers, and a throttleman who handles acceleration. At 10 meters and 2,200kg, these boats are built to withstand enormous impacts and perform well in various conditions, from calm lakes to the choppy waves of open seas.

Tri-Hull

A versatile and fast OPC class, popular for both recreational and competitive purposes. Weighing over 600kg, with hull lengths ranging from 4½ to 6 meters, it is powered by a 60hp outboard engine spinning the propeller at 5,500rpm. While all powerboats give the driver a bumpy ride, this craft is distinguished by its ability to power through turns and handle rough water with ease, reaching speeds upwards of 130km/h.

Jetsprint

A Jet or Sprint boat is a nimble, high-powered craft designed for navigating tight, twisting race courses at breakneck speeds. These boats are 4 meters long, weigh under 200kg, and are equipped with a supercharged V8 engine producing nearly 1,100hp and revving up to 6,000rpm. Using a pump jet propulsion system, they can reach speeds of 130km/h, making them exceptionally maneuverable and thrilling to watch. Unlike powerboats that use propellers, jet boats draw water from beneath the hull into a pump-jet and expel it through a nozzle at the stern.

Class 1

The pinnacle of Offshore marine racing known for its immense size, raw power, and competing in large bodies of water all over the world. This offshore catamaran is 12 meters long and weighs a wave crushing 4,000kg. Carrying twin inboard V8 engines that produce a combined 2200hp, each turning props at 6,000rpm, it can go as fast as 250km/h. Featuring two drivers; one that steers the boat called a wheelman, and one that handles acceleration called a throttleman. The boat uses a rudder to steer and has trim tabs to help it get and stay on plane.

Unlimited

The fastest boat in sanctioned competition and raced for over a century. The Unlimited Hydroplane is an impressive 9 meters in length and tipping the scales at 3,000kg. Powered by a gas turbine engine that produces over 3,000hp and reaches 15,000rpm, it can achieve breathtaking speeds of up to 320km/h. With its extreme velocities, long trajectories, and limited visibility, this craft offers some of the most exhilarating racing on water. It relies on a skid fin and rudder for turning and a canard to control lift and maintain stability.

Hydro

The stock Hydro is raced internationally and revered for its design and speed. At a length of 4 meters and mass of 230kg, these compact race boats are powered by an outboard that delivers exceptional acceleration and handling. With an engine producing up to 40hp, the Stock Hydroplane can achieve speeds exceeding 120km/h. Its advanced hull design and lift-producing sponsons ensure stability and control, allowing it to fly over through the water with ease and take sharp turns at high velocities.

Runabout

A stock outboard Runabout embodies a classic and timeless design, evoking a sense of nostalgia and tradition in boat racing. Constructed to a length of 4 meters and weight of 270kg, these versatile speed boats combine power and precision. Equipped with an outboard engine generating 40hp the boat can reach speeds over 110km/h giving this semi flat bottom hull plenty of acceleration and making it a well respected favorite among competitive racers. In combination with a small skid fin, the driver shifts his or her weight to assist with turning.

Personal Water Craft

A PWC is modern watercraft used for high-speed cruising, recreational riding, stunts, and now sanctioned racing. At 430kg and 3½ meters, it can zoom to an impressive speed of 150km/h using its four-stroke 300hp engine. Carving up the water with 6,500 rpm, inland or offshore, an impeller draws large volumes of water in from underneath the craft and shoots it out through a nozzle at the stern. Note: Destruction and customization are not planned for this craft.

Stunt Craft

A small Personal Water Craft designed with enhanced maneuverability for performing tricks and stunts with the driver standing up. At 2½ meters, 180kg, and powered by a high-output engine capable of 250hp and 6,000rpm, in calm water it can reach speeds of 110km/h. Engineered for excitement, features like a narrow hull, responsive steering, and powerful acceleration enable riders to tackle huge waves, execute jumps, flips, and sharp turns, makes it solid choice for adrenaline seekers. Note: Destruction and customization are not planned for this craft.
