Keith Whittle said "this just goes to prove that the Evinrude 250 E-Tec motor is the perfect motor to develop the most exciting circuit racing class for years, being a green 2 stroke and having tremendous torque we can achieve the performance figures we require without having to compromise reliability".

John Puddifoot Powerboat Racing Manager of the RYA who has driven the boat said "that this project has tremendous potential". John further commented that "circuit racing in the UK desperately needs a new flagship class and the new SL250 using a standard production catamaran and the Evinrude E-Tec engine will now deliver this for the first time in many years. The RYA will do everything possible to promote this class and it is hoped that competitors from motor racing will soon be experiencing, on water, the awesome power and performance of the new SL250".
