The owner of our local marina has a small maybe 9-10' fiberglass boat with a 30 hp. He said today all is running well, I expect the motor is well maintained. I always had my eye on that 30 hp for our Glen-L Tunnel Mite, but my son is now 18, so getting beyond this. Although I have to add even I have lots of fun zooming around in the kneel down Tunnel Mite. It is safe and stable, handles waves well and turns on a dime. I just put my 302 Yamato on the Tunnel Mite. 70 kmph no problem, still a reasonable speed for younger kids/cottage use. I think the boat at the marina would perform similarly. If you're interested you could call Curt Harrison, at Harrison Landing Marina near Nobel, off Hwy 559 north of Parry Sound. Tel. (705) 342-5572(705) 342-5572, email

What looks like the identical boat but in blue not red and also with a 30 hp motor, is for sale at City Marine in Port Credit [Mississauga]. Dave Sullivan at City Marine would help with this. Two boats for two kids to race??
