September Update posted on our Facebook Page. check it out !!!
Promote the sport of Vintage boating as well as host events for that involve the entire Florida Boating community.
The Sunshine Bouyz Raceboat Club is a group of boating enthusiasts who LOVE restoring , maintaining and running their vintage race boats. This is a DISEASE that we share in common, keeping 30-55 year old race boats in tip top shape and running as good as when they were new. BUT we like to get together with all kinds of boat owners to share the passion for fun, friendly boating events anywhere in the central Florida area ( and beyond ) .
Got a vintage hydro, runabout ,Vee bottom or inboard hydro or jersey skiff ? We welcome all classes of vintage boats from A class small hydro's and runabouts up to inboards as well as the Thunderboat unlimited hydros. You don't have to own an ORIGINAL vintage Raceboat. Any boat that is made similar to one that was raced may qualify. check with us !!!!
Interested in buying / owning / learning to ropes of participating in a vintage raceboat ? We welcome you and will help you learn how things are done from buying an existing ready to run boat to learning how to totally restore a vintage boat of your own. We have the contacts and resources to help you get started.
Don't own a boat but want to get involved ? we can help you. Lots of things to do without being a boat owner but still be a big part of vintage boating as well as social boating events. Events require a tremendous amount of volunteer hours so we welcome everyone.
Got a performance boat or just like boating at different locations and meeting people? come be part of our group.
Vintage Raceboats as defined by the governing body that sanctions and insures the gatherings ( American Powerboat Association) is a actual race boat hull or modern reproduction of such a hull that was used in some form of organized racing . The actual hull or modern replica that was made similar to it must be at least 25 years old (built prior to 1999 ) and powered appropriately as it would have been when raced in its proper class.
So if you have a checkmate, Allison Craft, Critchfield, Donzi, etc that was made less than 25 years ago but was copied from a older original version ??????? it may classify as vintage acceptable.
Same goes with the small tunnel boats, hydros, runabouts that are still popular today at races around the country.
Modern Allison drag boats and similar would not qualify as Vintage but would be readily accepted as part of our social boat gatherings. Same with your family boat, pontoon, etc.
NOTE - to participate in a Vintage specific event all boats and drivers MUST meet all of the defined APBA safety requirements for boats, motors and drivers. We can help you through these .
