Who the heck set the "RULES" and why wasn't anyone that was interested asked or consulted about the rules.

I can't afford to spend 3000$ on a used wave, but I can afford to build a pair of hulls and piece together a rig.
Why don't we have a total all up weight instead of a boat and then skipper weight.

The reason I ask is because I tip the scales at 225. If there was an overall weight instead of the way it was(is?) set, it would appeal to me (and others) a lot more.
