Pro-Stock Ski Lineup
Starting lineup Pro-AM Ski Stock - Celina, OH 2006
There are different classes based on experience level, type of watercraft, and the amount and type of modifications. The experience levels go from Beginner to Novice which are both for newer racers. Then you can move up to Expert or Pro-am depending on the classes designated by the IJSBA or APBA. Then you have the Pro class for the highly experienced racers. If you have a stand-up watercraft you would race in a Ski class, while sit-down watercraft compete in the Runabout classes.

The classes are also broken down by modification levels allowed. They start with Stock which is to allow someone with a watercraft from the factory to be able to race with little or no modifications. While it is perfectly feasible to race this class with a completely stock boat, it is recommended to put at least aftermarket sponsons on to help with cornering ability. The next level is Limited which allows a few more engine modifications that are not allowed in Stock. Then there is Open/Super-Stock and Modified. These classes allow a much greater level of modification and the watercraft that run in them reach speeds of over 75 mph.
