"I don't like it at all, I wouldn't like it whatever points I was on. I think it should be about consistency over six rounds."
Wilson was navigator to former 400's national champion Gerry Linklater over four seasons and remembered drop rounds first being mooted in their second year.
"Nobody wanted it, so I can't see why they're trying to bring it in now, halfway through the season.
"I should have the seven point lead, but if they bring in the drop round, I only lead by one point."
Wilson was separated by 0.66 seconds from Taupo's Warren Farr and Te Kuiti's Brett Thompson after the final eliminator at Meremere.
It is worth noting if the drop round was in effect last season, Murray would have lost the Group A's national championship to Hamilton's Sam Newdick, who had a shocking final round at Shelter View.
Murray came sixth at Meremere on Sunday after his crew experimented with a new grille on the boat which didn't work and then because of time constraints were not able to revert to their previous setup.
He pointed out with a drop round, if he and rival Newdick continued to be consistent then the Hamiltonian might have to give away more points than him and he would not want to retain the title that way.
"I guess it would benefit us but I don't agree with it," Murray said. "The drivers have voted that they don't want it anyway, but after the schmozzle at Baypark ... they're just trying to find an easy fix."
A number of the leading drivers in all three classes struggled with the freshly dug and narrow track at the ASB Baypark Stadium track on January 25, leading to some lopsided results.
However, Wanganui's Superboat world champion Leighton Minnell was willing to accept the changes.
"There's a drop round available so it's still going to be down to the wire," he said. "It doesn't bother me, so long as it's the same rules for everyone.
Minnell remains outside the top three after the weekend round as defending national champion Peter Caughey of Canterbury won his first round this campaign, beating Australian Phonsy Mullan to top spot with a 53.23 second drive in the final eliminator, while Baypark winner Graeme Hill came third after a spectacular crash.
Hill's boat rolled twice and spun through 540 degrees.
Minnell had already been eliminated as he crashed with two turns left on what proved his final run.
"I got beached as, bro," he laughed.
Amongst other Wanganui drivers in the Suzuki Superboats, spokeswoman Jo Lewis said Pat Dillon's Hulk 3 "threw its toys out of its pram" at the end of the fourth qualifier, which meant the veteran could not compete in the Top 8 round, finishing in eighth place.
"Rob Coley had a better run of luck, setting some consistent times around the one minute mark, and building back the confidence that must have been shaken somewhat after his dramatic crash at Shelter View in Round 1 and a wrong turn at ASB Baypark Stadium in Round 2," said Lewis.
"He delivered a set of good, smooth drives getting the rotation spot on but just missing out on the Top 5 round.
"Peter Huijs' Mad Az also performed nicely, with Peter putting in a cluster of times under a minute. Sadly his Top 5 time of 58.40s was not quite enough to get him into the Top 3, but he's shaving vital seconds off each round so must have his sights set on the Top 3 in Hastings on March 16," said Lewis.
In the Group A results, Australian Paul Gaston managed to reverse the order after two straight third placings by taking out the round against Newdick by just two tenths of a second.
