    Yeah I saw the 14 and thought similar.

    But......, the story shows the one w/the 2.4 is still under construction.
    As in, probably not run yet.
    That thing would be a weapon and take serious seat time/experience to tame.

    Basically, that guy is building a smaller/lighter hull than a SST 120 tunnel hull race boat and adding 50 hp to it.

    Yikes!

    I've been reading the laker 14 on their website for the last 2 hours. You can make it a side by side seating on that one. I am tempted to buy the plans and just study them. They are only 60 bucks. Thats not free. But its not like the cost of glen-L plans either. I am the guy who studies things to get a mental image in my head. Prints be good for me

    Not sure how many plan sets I have for boats that I haven’t built..., but I’m sure it’s more than the ones I have built.

    A great, cheap way to see if it is what you think it is.

    I bought that book. It honestly only references tunnels racing on flat water circuits. Doesn't really address boat building techniques to the average joe. It didn't help with my tunnel build, at least... but may be more insightful to others

    I stared all all those Clark Craft and Glen plans for years. We also got a small magazine around here that was called boat builder that had plans.

    I also got some real cool stuff from Morley at Performance Plans. V's, Step hydo's, Tunnels and the Titan Tunnel which I owned powered by a ported crossflow. He had a cool 22ft single step pad bottom design for the V6's which seemed way ahead of its time. These designs looked like the predecessors to what we see from Darris Allison, George Linder and Howard Pipcorn etc.

    For those that remember. Cougar of the UK campaigned a 21 ft wood rough water tunnel I really wanted to build. I have a great story on that. Think I might even have a VHS tape on it.

    I'm pretty sure I have some of that stuff in the attic. I also have some left over inline & parts.

    And then there's home made tunnel, who's tunnel I still look at with admiration on a job well done.

    I still have many issues of Boat Builder mag.

    Dont forget the race tunnel plans in Mechanics Illustrated.
    They actually built one and hung a 135 cross glow on it and it ran good.

    I still have probably probably 20 - 30 sets of misc plans.
    The old Boat Builder mags normally had 5 - 10 per issue.

    I have a set for a 12’ runabout that’s still on my A list.
    Designed in the ‘40’s w/the sporty lines from that era.

    Look on Glen-Ls site too. It’s pretty decent.
    They have pixs from builders of most of their designs and many w/their own interpretations added.

    Jims book on tunnel design is excellent, although aimed at tunnels is very educational for all.
    Lots or formulas and theories on weight loading, angle of attack, etc.
    I have a couple of editions.
    Great book for your library.

    I looked at the Laker 14 for a long time. My one hang-up with it is ......if I build the side by side version, I have got to figure out a way to bring the coamings together(which are sitting against the sides of the sponsons)at the nose and look good. I saw a customers pic and it looked way too triangular. the single seat version looks much sweeter. If I cant make a smooth transition from the sides to the nose.......I will not build it.....cant build a craft with bad lines.

    But here's my top choices right now.......The Laker 14 from Dillon Racing, from Glen-L...the Renegade, Stilletto, and Outrage, and from Clark craft, the Mongoose Racer 20.

    The mongoose racer would take my big bore x-flow thats just been sitting around after I built it last year. All the other builds would take either my v4 crossflows or my newly acquired 135 Chrysler(bargain cheap) last Saturday. If I werte to pick one or two.....right now without looking at more plans, its the Laker 14 and the outrage.

    And should I choose a v-bottom boat, I will incorporate a pad into the build out.............free speed to be had. How wide and how long?Dunno.........someone please give some advice on that one.

    As to the inline parts... A phone call would work best. When you get a minute give me a call. If I don't answer leave me a voicemail or send a text on how I can call you back.
