The
exciting, sometimes dangerous, sport of powerboat
racing can be traced back 100 years. The American
Power Boat Association (APBA), was founded in 1903 and
is the sole authority for U.I.M.
approved powerboat racing in the United States.
Those who set Records or win Championships at APBA
approved races are eligible to receive the prestigious
U.I.M. World Title status. Competition, thrills, victory and honor can be found in all 13 of APBA's racing categories, comprising a broad selection of inboard and outboard engines and countless hull configurations.

"Of records and record breakers, I would remind you that speed is relative to time. What we consider slow now, was unthinkable in years gone by. However, each time a contender goes out onto the field of battle, he or she faces the same hurdles, the same fears and financial challenges as those before us, and most importantly of all, has to muster themselves to boiling point make it all happen. In the end, players will either triumph or fail, but in doing so, show where to and where not to tread. All too often players pay the ultimate price. Whether they raise Man's technical mastery up another notch or not, history should remember every last one of them - for they were players." (Nelson Kruschandl December 2005)
