The smallest inboard raceboat recognized by the American Power Boat Association: the 48 cubic inch 'Z' class. Banshee has a long, low hull with a streamlined cowling and a one-person cockpit, and a converted Crosley engine of almost 40 hp drives it to 45 mph. An affordable way into organized racing.
