The head unit is in a waterproof housing and only 2 speakers are exposed, we think it will be fine and in all fairness they are marinized speakers so they can take a slight douching.

And yes they were originally Cougar Cub molds, they are being re-designated as another name when I decide on what I want to call it.

They'll take a drowning is more like it. If you haven't driven that cub yet, you won't fully understand. I drive mine in swimming shorts and ski goggles because you get REAL WET in anything but glass flat water :) Its fun on a hot sunny day :)

The more I look at your pic, the more I think what you have is a splash of the cougar cub called a GREW cub. Cougars didnt have that much motor well if I recall but the grews did to accomodate a 20 inch motor instead of the 15 the cougars used.

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
 

You are correct sir, they are set up for 20". Sparky at Vicious sold these to me as he is focusing more on his 16' and 32' cats. These will be great for cruisng the channel at Havasu and I intend on having a small rental fleet at a local lake in AZ, the rentals will only have 25HP's on them.

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
 

They are a real biotch to plane with a 25 propped high enough to get em zooming.Gotta lean out onto the deck to get em over the hump. Mine ran just around 32 speedometer with a 25 jonny on it. Hopin for 40 to 45 with a 40 merc twin.

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
 

To be honest I dont want rental folk to be able to go any faster than that.

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
 

From my experience, DO NOT put a 50hp Merc on it :eek:

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
 

A few pages back someone was looking for a mini boat.
There are two BobCat Tunnels for sale. I am pretty sure you'll get a heck of a deal on these....They were designed and built by Bob Carlson. He even raced them (I raced against him at Parker), designed for stock 40hp motors. (60 mph). I have more friends that owned these too. They won't do well in rough water, but fly when the water isn't too choppy.


Original message from another thread:

Hi, I am not a boat racer but have aquired 2 Bobcat tunnel hull boat hulls.Do these have any value?If so, how much.Any help or advice would be appreciated, I would like to get them out of my garage.

Maureen,

If you have pictures, are looking to bring the interior back to original, and are in New England, I can take care of that for you. Just PM me.

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
 

MBR, I didnt realize you ended up with the molds. I just bought a Cugar Cub a few weeks ago. I had it delivered to my fathers house up in NH so I havent even seen it other than a video I was emailed.
Cant wait to wait to strip it and re-rig. Ill be interested to see what you find with balance and rigging when you start biulding. Suposedly it is running 38 (GPS) with an old 30 merc and 200lb driver now but I will be repowering.
