It has the look of the old Maus Motorsports or a LAW (Land, Air, Water) hull. It seems to be a little narrow and if it's like a .21 version that I've seen it can roll easily in the corners.

Lots of luck getting anything from Prather as they closed their doors at the end of January.

The HTB's are sweet boats. If I were looking for a new tunnel boat myself, it would be right at the top of my list.

I agree HTB's are the way to go. The old prather hull is only good for sport running or a stock engine in my opinion.

HTB is the only boat to have for 3.5 and 7.5
