Default Can someone please help me identify this tunnel?

Besides being dirty, does anyone know who makes this hull and what the name of it is?

Wondering if it's worth slapping a paint job and a motor onto?

Thanks in advance!

Bottom looks like it has a few steps at the rear.

Radiobox is detachable, and the whole thing is fiberglass.

100% fiberglass.

Nice quality layup too!

If you can, see if you can take a look at the inside of the cowl.

I've seen a few tunnel boats, but cannot ID this one.

No idea on that. Looks like a "one off" to me. Sorry!

Thanks guys!

It looks pretty nice off camera so I'm going to try & put some horsepower behind it & see how she does.

Bryan, there was a time that it seemed like everybody and their brother were putting out OB tunnels so the market was flooded with a lot of them. This one is unique though but probably wasn't a big seller otherwise the OB tunnel Guru's would have known it.
