New Online Platform Aims to Connect the Powerboat Racing Community Across All Boat Classes

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — June 28, 2026

JACKSONVILLE, FL — Powerboat racing spans dozens of disciplines — from offshore catamarans and V-bottoms to inshore bracket classes, drag boats, jet boats and lake circuits — yet the people who compete in them have long been scattered across dozens of separate forums, regional clubs and social-media groups. A new online resource, the Racing Network, has launched with the goal of bringing those disciplines together in one searchable place.

Developed by marine-marketplace operator OutboardLISTINGS.com, the Racing Network is a role-based board where members of the racing community can post and search for the connections the sport depends on: drivers looking for sponsors, sponsors looking for teams, boat builders seeking engine partners, and mechanics or crew seeking rides. Listings can be filtered by role, circuit, boat class, region, budget and availability.

Addressing a Fragmented Sport

Organizers say smaller regional and grassroots teams have historically had the hardest time getting noticed. High-profile offshore programs draw most of the media attention, while a lake team searching for a fuel sponsor, a drag-boat owner hunting for a builder, or a jet crew that needs a throttleman for a single weekend has had no central place to look.

“Racing is far bigger than the offshore highlight reel most people picture,” said a spokesperson for OutboardLISTINGS.com. “There are thousands of teams and independent racers across freshwater and saltwater who simply had no common place to find one another. We wanted to give the entire sport — not one segment of it — a single point of connection.”

Covering the Full Range of Classes

The platform is intended to serve the breadth of the sport, including offshore catamarans and V-bottoms; inshore and lake classes such as bracket boats, tunnel hulls and mod-vees; drag boats including flatbottoms and hydros; jet and jet-sprint boats; and performance pontoon competition. The stated aim is that any boat that races on water has a corresponding category.

Part of a Larger Marine Community

The Racing Network is connected to two companion resources on the same site: community racing forums for results, schedules and technical discussion, and a national directory of marine businesses including mechanics, dealers, marinas and rigging shops. The intent is to let racers post an opportunity, discuss the sport, and locate services without leaving a single ecosystem.

Availability

The Racing Network is available now at https://outboardlistings.com/racing-network. Registration is required to post.
