Stock Outboard

Stock Outboard This is the official page of the APBA Stock Outboard Category. Runabouts tend to be a bit slower than hydroplanes and can be harder to handle.

Hydroplanes have a three-point design—only the two front sponsons and the propeller touch the water. Air is trapped underneath, causing the boat to lift and ride on this cushion of air, skimming across the surface of the water. There are virtually no restrictions on design or dimensions

Runabouts slice through the water rather than skim over the surface. Turning is an art, and it can be work just

to keep the boat level—similar to driving a motocross dirt bike. Runabout have certain length, width and weight restrictions.
