Sport 40

[stan simpson iv]

Sorry for the stupid question I am about to ask. What is the total overall width allowed of a sport 40 and the total length. I know about the rule book (IMPBA) just figured answer here would be faster. Thanks...

Without going into the rulebook, I BELIEVE the length is 36" to 40". As far as width, don't know on that one

Ray,

In the NAMBA rulebook Section 20, pg 2 there are the specs for the classes. The sport 40 body width is 5 1/2 inches and the length is min 35"

Stan asked overall width. Like Thunder boat 24" wide X 48" long. Not trying to start trouble, just an observation.......

 

[namba276]

No requirement as to overall width in namba sport classes. All good questions...
