How big do you want it? There are a few you could use.
Sonic racing has a large one. There's also the MHZ CT03, or Mystic hulls. there are others to choose from ranging in size depending on the engine/s you want to use.

Here you go http://imageevent.com/justaddwata/li...ktmxp4.zebra_s
Do not visit this website unless you have at least a couple of hours free time to kill. Every time I go there I loose 2-3 hours and a quart of drool.

The Expresscraft MTI has been used with that paint scheme. It's a little bigger than your looking for but a good hull for the money.

For a smaller scale looking cat the Expresscraft Thunderbolt cat can be made to look pretty cool
http://expresscraft.com/thunderbolt.htm
The Expresscraft MTI is also a good performing boat and scaled from the MTI race cats (Geico ran one for a while). the MTI is 60" though but will still respond well to a single zenoah or QD25

Im pretty sure they are still running one of the MTIs. Heres a pic I took July 4th weekend at the Offshore Grand Prix in Sarasota FL.
Im not sure of all of the manufacturers producing MTI hull, but as said above, Ive heard some good on the Expresscraft.
Just pulled up the Gieco race site. They are also running a Rage hull. Ive seen a hull very similar to this on HPRs site, but I dont think it was one of his boats. I remember it being a white hull w/ dark green graphics... Giesse or something? And I think PIP has one?
Here, just get this one... http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...o29980-en.html

Here is a Thunderbolt I just finished up. They don't seem to be real popular and still can't figure out why. Real cool looking hull.

RE: would like to make a boat similar to miss geico
I have a WHH M5 Zenoah in it now but will be changing out motors this week. It will still have a modded Zenoah. I've only had it on the water 3 times since I got it back together and have not been able to get it to run right. I think I have the problems (setup issues not motor) identified and just got new parts and will run it again next weekend. This boat with a modded Zenoah should get into the 50's. I know some guys have seen high 50's. Just depends on the motor!

RE: would like to make a boat similar to miss geico
It's a hanson 0 band and a 90 degree header with a 3" offset. I haven't found the sweet spot yet s I've been trying to sort out other isues with the boat.
