Long Tail boat races are held regularly in the Thai provinces, many owners and teams travel to compete in the competitions.

The prize winnings are status and a trophy with prize money that just above covers the cost of the fuel and transport.
Many of the competitors are owners/workers of the small engineering shops scattered around the provinces that maintain, fabricate and repair farming equipment.

Success at the boat races brings more custom to the shop, after all if you can make a 150cc motorcycle engine hammer down a canal at 100mph then you have a reasonable measure of the shops ability with engines and fabrication.

Usually the only parts purchased are the propeller and the engine - the rest is made in house or refurbished from old domestic long tail boats.
