RE: who made this hull
it weights six and a half pounds .the nose really comes down tight in the corners, too tight it seems. have raised prop and it doesn't slow down as much in the turns. but it still drops down tight. c.o.g. is 30%

RE: who made this hull
I was second-guessing myself also Mark after really looking at the shots. Topside and inside it sure appears to be an Aero-Tech plus most of the bottom with a couple of small exceptions. One is that the starboard sponson is smaller than the port sponson. That trick was also done on a .21 OB tunnel, possibly the MRP Bud Lite/Mirage. The other is the diagonal steps. The canopy sure has the looks (to me anyway) of a Dumas .45 OB tunnel. We need JD in here as I know that he'd know what it is for sure.
The older hulls seems to run better with the CG at around 27% forward so it may be a tad nose-heavy. They will settle down in the turns as they're made to do that. The built-in stumble blocks help to keep it from nosing in too far. That's those 2 thingies under the front of the tunnel area if you didn't know what we call them.
