what would the best length for a circle racer boat to be

That is a very good question since most are in the 18' range and by far the best handling are in the 12- 13 ' range . My opinion is that it all comes down to balance and set up . Not so much length . I'm probably waaay off on this though .

i have an 18 ft 78 southwind=but my kid does not want to cut a hole for the center fin=so i am looking to but another boat for the adventure=i have pumps and motors just need a hull=would a southwind hull be good

If you want to run a Southwind get one of the old T deck versions, that was actually there circle boat.

This looks to me to be a great candidate for NJB circle racing, and it's priced right as well,

what are the differances in class?

Comp Jet ?
Nostalgia Jet ?
Nostalgia Indurance ?

I believe Comp Jet is any speed, just needs to be 500 c.i.d limit and naturally aspirated.

Nostalgia Jet is any older style jet, or copy of, with no engine limitations, just has a max speed of 80.9

Nostalgia Indurance is any boat, jet, v-drive, or outboard. Speed limit of 80.9

OK thanks then....just sorting some classes out....
