APBA Inboard Racing

APBA Inboard Racing APBA Inboard Racing As the largest category in the APBA, Inboard racing classes include both runabouts and hydroplanes that are fast, fun and LOUD.

When you hear the roar of automotive engines and catch a glimpse of giant roostertails, chances are pretty good that inboards are on the water. Classes span from wild Jersey Speed Skiffs (70mph) to supercharged 1,500 horsepower Grand Prix Hydroplanes (170 MPH). The minimum age for racing in this exciting category ranges from 14 to 21. Inboard racing requires an unmatched level of teamwork and prof

essionalism, as well as a family atmosphere with life long bonds between owners, drivers and crew members; and that is exactly what powerboat racing is all about.
