Anyone know anything about these. If the weight is even close to what's advertised it might make a fun 800ft boat. Doesn't look like a 400lb boat though :S http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicle ... Z392756365 |

Sleekcraft's have a much longer bow and are round along the sides. I've seen these boat before but never up close. |

If it is infact a Texas Tunnel they are a fast mudsucker boat. Don't have a clue how it would run with an outboard, the tunnels are too deep to drag race with. |

Looks more like a horizon, they were mainly jets and the odd outboard, Motoboat had an 20ft. years ago. Nice boat but I don't believe the speed nos. Al |

Al I'm with you Al...though he did say depending on power...it might go 120 with a Rolls Royce turbo jet  . 400lbs would also be a big stretch concidering my "light" voodoo is 220lbs and would fit in the cockpit of that boat. Looks like a good MVP boat though....

You would have to see the bow to tell if it is a Gull Wing design. I don't recall the Gull Wing stern looking like that with the square tunnel shape. It was more of a V design and YES there were some outboards. Suggest a Gull Wing search on S and F. |

That boat was built as a jet, look at the width of the pad. They built the outboards with the a same pad. |

Anything is capable of 120+ if you throw it out of a plane...... Not a bad looking boat from the pictures though. |
