Hi guys,
I've been shopping for hulls from Vipers to 24 Superboats for a project to work on next year. I came across an 18' Hitec...problem is that there is next to nothing available as far as history or information online. It looks like a mini hawk/superboat but I have no idea how they ride, are they heavy, are they weak? The only info I could find online was from a SNF member trying to sell one years back...
This is what I think I know:
LI built boat
Weird seating in front of the windshield.
What I don' t know:
Quality of layup
What years were they built - by anyone still around to talk about them?
Is the hull cored or all glass
HP capacity - I imagine I can put any V6 motor on it.
Are these hulls notoriously slow ? They appear to be a very deep deadrise don't appear to have strakes or a pad.
Anyone have any good closeup pictures of one of these boats - I'm looking at a distant cell phone pic...
Thanks!
-Tom
