Status: offline 		 What is the fastest tunnel with a stock 3.5 cc outboard?  I listed a couple possible candidates below.  I'm looking for straight line speeds on flat water.
Aquacraft VS1
Lynx
Leecraft
DPI Hobby tunnel
ML Boatworks 295
Any others?

Status: offline 		Sign up for an account over on intlwaters.com one of the best spots for tunnel info, there are a bunch of tunnel hulls on the market and I believe some of those really good hulls are mainly sold and marketed through intlwaters and by word of mouth with no other website store or store front to purchase them from

Status: offline 		gener, kp's record is with a mod engine, not stock. need to look at b sport for a "stock" record. if all the stars & moon line up, a "stock" tunnel should be in the 50's......

Status: offline 		namba opc stock is different than impba sport. namba stock is STOCK, exactly as the factory built it. impba sport is stock appearing, but allows internal mods. that's why the impba record is higher . notice the mod records are much closer.

Status: offline 		.21 Outboard Tunnel results from the State Champs.

1st Vision/Nova - Simon
2nd Lynx/O.S. - Jase(first time to run an .21 outboard!)
3rd Shaman/Nova - Me.

Wasn't so much racing, but survival of the fittest! I only finished one heat and still placed LOL.
I think this was the case for nearly all the classes. I believe even the winners in most classes had atleast one DNF due to the horrible conditions(Rain/storng winds).

Cheers,
Brad
