...GT30 is an entry level mono-hull class raced in the U.K. with an unmodified 30 horse outboard, for anyone aged 14 & up. Speeds in the 55 m.p.h. range. Would be a nice class for over here...or do we already have something like this here?https://cdn.nettivene.com/live/77400...2daa-large.jpg
I understand but what I'm getting at is the bottom design, who make THAT hull It's not like the others in that class, the older ones have
conventual strakes those are not

I love this era of family oriented runabouts, one that I've been obsessed with finding is an old Bellboy, no luck yetQuote:

...bum...lots of famous offshore raceboats of yesteryear were bought & shipped & raced in a second life, in ozzie land. this particular wellknown 40' cigarette raceboat was called slingshot. they also usually kept the original american name & paint job down the side of the boats that they imported there. slingshot was a beauty & a runner, both here & there, when campaigned...that is...until it caught fire...:(
