Tunnel Boats, our main focus of the game, are an Outboard Performance Craft that are the fastest turning vehicles on the planet, turning more than 180° and pulling more than 4g's at speeds up to 220kph. These boats use Outboard Engines.
Unlimited Hydroplanes are the fastest boats in sanctioned competition and have been racing for over 100 years reaching upwards of 320kph pulling over 3000 horsepower. The majority of these boats use Turbine Engines.
Stock Outboards are boats that do not have a safety cell encapsulating the driver and go up to 140kph with the driver in a kneeling position. This category features two hull types, Hydros and Runabouts. Runabouts have a "V" style hull and slice through the water rather than hydroplane over the surface.
Professional Outboards are the largest, most popular and diverse category in the U.I.M. and A.P.B.A. The driver is in a lay-down position going over 155kph reaching up to 13,000rpm. Boats weighing less than 250lbs and lengths up to 14' with engine and hull designs that can be heavily modified.
Offshore Powerboats are 40' or larger ocean-going vessels that weigh over 9,000lbs that typically compete in long distance point-to-point races. These vehicles feature two drivers; one that steers the boat called a wheelman, and one that handles acceleration called a throttleman.

During development we plan to take a "deep dive" into this system and make it one of the best features in the game. From rooster tails to boat wakes and water spraying on the windshield, it's gonna get wet!
Race starting styles include:
1) Dock Start - Boat is at a dead stop. Fuel pump on only. A flag is dropped by an official. Boats may not start their engine and accelerate until the flag is in motion. Boats may not change lanes until after the commitment buoy.
2) Clock Start - Boats are allowed to be at full throttle coming down a straight away as a giant clock counts down from 10 seconds. Boats may not cross the starting line until the clock has elapsed or risk jumping the gun.
