Any of you guys have any pics of the first hot shot tunnels? The ones that look like an old Scotti craft with the square bow. Has anybody ever ran any of them? I think these boats came out about the same time K&B introduced the .21 outboard but not sure about that. Just curious about them, but not for racing purposes.

Thanks,

Mark
 
Mark is this what your talking about? i just bought this new unbuilt kit off e-bay last week. i thought it would look pretty cool sitting on the shelf.

Yep, thats is the one. Looks just like an early 70's Scotti craft, which it must have been patterned after. I have one of the old Mercury Marine "up up and away" boats stored away. Interestingly enough it was plastic and made by K&B in 1971 and I got it for Christmas that year! Yes that will look cool on the shelf, maybe you should build a scale motor for it too.

Thanks,

Mark
