Well, it's going to be pretty slow and leak alot unless you leave it on the trailer or put an outdrive on it.


Is that called a modified tunnel? Pretty much a small lake or river boat. Could be fun on the Bass boat days.

well..a big pad makes vee's faster.... and technically ist still a vee, but traps air like a cat (well almost) so it should be faster yet.. all it needs is a beak to be Reggie's new secret cat killing, first card stop, faster than the helicopter, media blitzing weapon......

Looks like a giant hydrostream v king hull. Nothing new, just a lot bigger than usual. Pretty cool calm water boat.
