    Silverwing Tunnel

    I really don’t know where to post this, it definitely qualifies for a scream and fly type boat and right now it’s without power so it could potentially be rigged for Twin outboards or continue with the I/O Power?

    Anyways here we go!
    4 seat Formula 1
    1986 20.6” Silverwing True Tunnel
    The Silverwing tunnel hull is a very special and unique type of performance boat. This is one of just a handful ever built and the only one built with stainless steel “truss” designed stringers that run the full length of the hull. This boat was designed from the beginning to handle a BBC/SSM Power combo, not an after thought.

    This boat is built very strong, capable of handling the stresses that a high horsepower V8 will induce. Originally set up with a big block Chevy and Mercury Super Speedmaster Outdrive this Silverwing easily attained speeds in the high 130’s, and after the owner upgraded the power to a 632 cubic inch normally aspirated big block Chevy producing 800+hp he drove it to 143mph and reached his personal limit he had set for himself.
    This boat can easily be rigged for twin outboards, very simple to do

    According to someone who in recent times enquired about possibly having a Silverwing made, he said that Wilkes will no longer produce these boats for the general public and he would only consider building one on a case by case basis. You pretty much can’t buy one anymore unless you are a professional driver with extensive experience with Small high performance Tunnel Hull performance boats.
    this boat is built strong and you can walk anywhere on the deck without worrying about cracking it.
    Most definitely this is not for everyone, it’s certainly not trendy, this boat is for people that are serious performance minded boaters that really want to go fast with friends and be able to turn like only a Formula-1 boat can!
    When this boat is finished and fully rigged on the water it will without a doubt turn head’s. For the people that understand what this is will appreciate it.
    I didn’t talk about the trailer, but the trailer is just as Nice, it’s a box frame constructed tandem axle, with brakes and a swing tongue. Because of the width of the boat it sits over the wheels of the trailer that’s how wide the boat is, almost to the legal limit.
