The pic of this boat was in my gallery under "My older boats from the past". It had a K&B outboard, red carb, Equi pipe. I think I later exchanged the carb and ground where the carb was to create an intake, added a needle valve, and switched to a blade style exhaust throttle. I just don't remember which setup was last. Also, look at the slot I cut in the cowl to slip over the power switch and the hole where the antenna came out of the cowl. It still has the original striping that I used on all of my boats, and the original radio box I built to clear the tunnel main support, and rods I bent to clear the tank.Hey Ron, to tell you the truth bud I cannot remember where I picked it up. I have had it for a while now in the collection and it was a great running boat and fast. I really dont want to give it up but I just have way to many tunnels. If you want the old girl back she is yours, let me know. What engine did you have on it I am curious to see if it was your complete setup still on it when I got it, let me know.

Thanks Shane. I would really appreciate that. We will work something out. Not your fault. Just glad to see it again.......Hey Ron, I have to run and install one of my mod zens in a guys wood whip right now. Dont worry she belongs to you and will be coming home, I will pm you later when I get back. Thanks Buddy and I love the pic's they are classic.

Hahaha........thanks Robbin. Can't believe it finally showed up. Other than missing the powerhead and lower, and the addition of a couple of mobile 1 stickers, its very close to the condition it was in when it disappeared. That very boat won just about every 20 tunnel race in the Southeast over a three year span. It won the Atlanta Spring Nationals in the 90's three years in a row, back when we were having 25 boats per class and before gas and FE. I can remember one of those years in particular that Otto came in second and Premo came in third, (we were all much younger back then). It was a rocket in its time, but many newer and better designs have been developed over the years, including its current replacement, the XTR120.hair???? you don't have any.......... :lol: :lol: who's william? ron, this is awesome that you'll get that boat back.
Hahahahahahahaha. James, you probably have over half of all of the tunnel hulls ever made.......Ron, I have 8 tunnel hulls that I'm sure were yours years ago. Please send lots of money to my PayPal and they can return to thier rightful place!! I assure you they are all in very good shape. James
