I thought you were suggesting it was some how partially my responsibility, or the guy racing K boats or drag boats or offshore boats. We all do what we can to help anybody get started, IN THE CLASS AND TYPE OF RACING WE ARE INVOLVED WITH. I can't help promote ski boats because I know zip about them. That's WOT's job, or some other group involved. I don't remember you or WOT getting anybody involved in K boats, or GNs, and I don't expect them to. Its not their thing. You get my point Hallett. Don't mean to sound harsh, but had a problem with who your original post was aimed at. Exactly who do you suggest do this promoting of 17-19 ft ski boats. I think you answered your own question.
Ya I understand what your saying. Same way a dirt bike racer will help another guy get into riding track and probably not driving trophy trucks.

I was speaking more towards the enduro rather than GN, COR, ski race etc. the enduro seems like a year closer or opener depending on what you race that allows all different kinds of boats to compete. So obviously you get a melting pot of racers. And maybe the key to building it up is by promoting the enduro in the smaller racing classes that happen year round. Jazz up the gn, COR, ski race guys about competing in the enduro.

As an outsider looking in the enduro appears to have the potential to add a lot of fresh blood because it only happens once a year. So the cost throughout the year wouldn't be as high compared to a guy running 5-10 races a year. And if your lucky the guy gets bored racing once a year and starts entering other races throughout the year
