As much as I love tunnel boats, there might be an alternative approach for an entry level racing class.
The ShockWave 36 from Horizon Hobbies is a fine running boat. A review of it is featured in the August 2005 RC Boat Modeler. I actually did a lot of the R&D on this hull a couple of year ago. That was just before I started working with AquaCraft.
The price of this boat is $350 and it's RTR. The class could be called Factory 40 RTR Offshore with the class focus being the local clubs working with hobby shops. The are, or will be, other RTR boats that would qualify for the class. It might be possible to even get the manufactuers and RC Boat Modeler involved in promoting the class.
