The good old boys in the southern states love their small boats with 40 to 60 HP motors. Most of the hulls are wood. The Fast Craft is an interesting hull. They do have a console option. They have a lot of straightaway speed. Can they turn??

The back of the deck looks like a VooDoo.
Is the running surface similar?

The bottom is different. Less V and a wider pad. I don't think they would run well in the rough water. But, they could be fine. Some of these hulls run in the 70 mph range.

Don't think they'd run in a strong wind either but... looks like a whole lot of fun, and it's a race hull you can fish out of (sorta).
Might be a suitable replacement for the T Cat when the time comes.
Yee-Ha!

I've got a 49 SS OMC tiller with a coned lower doing nothing at the moment... Hmmm

Instead of SLT ..Super Light Tunnel...it could mean Super Light T-Boat. A boat light enough to be carried on roof racks or in the back of a pick-up truck.

Now go and watch the videos at the right speed !!!!!
nearly all of them down the southern states are speeding up their videos.

none of them hit anywhere near what they try and claim. the only ones that go quick use NOS.

Are you starting your own collection Tom? Seems to me that the 49 tiller would go well on your tunnel light :D

Running a Merc 60 short shaft with trim on the SLT and it works nice.

that would be great fun for my family, and 40hp is perfect for the kids to drive!
