Pretty impressive, now let’s see it turn! I might have to settle for a wood boat if nothing pops up. PTI is working on a FE glass but not sure when it’ll be on the market.Originally posted by jim82 View PostIMPBA 20583Comment

No one is dominating with the predators like they are with some of the other hulls. Even though I’m not racing it, I’ll be pushing it just as hard and want something that’s proven to be a top performer.Originally posted by JestDanny View PostIMPBA 20583Comment

Just curious as to what are the dominant tunnel hulls. The list of available boats still in production seems to be very short. Also what OB lowers are dominating in the 4&6 cell classes? It would be nice to have a resource where one could see the available hulls and lowers to see how they stack up against the competition. Honestly I don't even know what are the true speeds needed to compete in the popular tunnel oval racing classes?
Anyhow what driveline are you going to install on your project? 7.5 Bullet lower? what else? what speeds? I may need this info in case I build a bigger boat. lol I've got 3 running tunnels all under 30" and another on the way.PROBOAT BlackJack 24", ShockWave 26"

Very few available that are top performers.
Wood: Kris Flynn’s Dragon, PTI Racing (glass plans in process)
Glass: Leecraft
Vision & HTB are no longer in production at this time. The molds seem to change hands overtime and someone will start laying them up again. The vision craft 40 is highly recommended.
K&B is the leg of choice, I think sport running can see the low 60s on 6s. 79-80 for saw but I think that is nitro speed.IMPBA 20583Comment

IIRC it is. Darin should confirm, my memory/concentration...what was I talking ab ...Oh look a squirrel..Originally posted by Insanity Plea View Post
Regardless, when Darin/Brian construct a boat there's some magic stuff going on way in excess of everyday build techniques.

You got that right, I was reading a thread with experienced tunnel guys talking about working the throttle through the turns... Darin chimes in to let everyone know “I hold mine wide open the entire lap”... I’d jump at the chance to buy his dragon if he ever sold it!Originally posted by properchopper View Postwhen Darin/Brian construct a boat there's some magic stuff going on way in excess of everyday build techniques.IMPBA 20583Comment
