    Boat in Hooters St. Louis

    I saw an outboard tunnel hull hanging in the Hooters St. Louis. It looked really cool (and fast). Does anyone know the history of that one? Thanks. Smitty

    Cool

    leave it hang, good for interest. Parker you need to see if your good buddy Mike Mullins has any interest in letting any of us commoners get a "special" price on a "Silverwing", and help him him promote them , I'd be interested in a bare hull layed up to my specs. (I'll do a search and post a pic of one named "Purple Haze") missed buying her complete for 20k. fun out

    FOUND HER !!! check this sweet little hunny out http://www.screamandfly.com/gallery/...erwing&cat=502

    would like a shot at making one mine.

    A story that will make you sick.....My brother.... Tripps bought Dick O days Ron Jones KT. Being a Chevy man he wanted the 427 and alummming heads. I think he paid $2500.for it. He traded the boat for another KT. The guy that bought the Jones let it rot away. Then I bought the # 2 speddy From the guy. My brother ran the other kt in NY with a 468bb with a speedmaster. Then put that drive in a 28 foot Magnum cruser and GAVE AWAY the KT.........IT was Blue last see..........

    Leaned on the 502 (can't remember if he super charged it or N2o) and got it to run about 100 I think.

    He is now installing a turbine and surface drive.

    I've personally seen the boat run.
    It is huge!!
    With what the owner has done to it in attempts to make it run it really, really makes me wonder about some of the performance/speed claims from it's era.
    I think with twin in-lines on this boat it would have been lucky to see 60!

    Neat class though.

    Take an O/B tunnel and bolt on an I/O and a car motor.

    Bob Nordskog was big into them (bottom left picture in 75H's post) back in the day. He ran one with a diesel for a while.

    Remember one guy ran one w/a V-12 (Lamborghini I think) too.
    The Big Jones Hulls ran triple inlines, not twins...and broke 100

    A guy in Hawaii by the name of Hiram Fong Jr ran a 21' Molinari twin he that he converted to an injected V8 and a Mercruiser racing stern drive. Big yellow thing. Fast when it ran but they had so much trouble getting the thing to run I only saw a few good races with it. I wish I had some pics of that boat. Really looked cool. Typical Molinari it rode bow high. At the time Dave Packer was running the fastest tunnel outboards in Hawaii. Some of you really old guys may have known him or heard of him. He was a regular at Havasu back in the day. Hiram and Dave had a few good match races. A high school kid, Steven Soon had a single Merc stacker on a Kober tunnel that had some great races with Dave also. The single vs the twin. Good days way back when!
