Title: Cheetah tunnel
Post by: Mrblueeyesnick on June 02, 2014, 07:11:15 PM
Just out of curiosity if anyone knows anything about cheetah tunnel boats my uncle used to have one and I always loved the way they looked but I can honestly say that I have never seen another one. Just wondering what anyone can tell me about them. Here is a picture of my uncles.

They might have ended up with the crusader mold...
I can't remember very clearly how that story went .... or ended.

My memory sucks but I can't remember if the crusader was a better built ( constructed ) boat.
Cheetah seems to acquire molds after their time has passed it seems, to me anyways.

I've never heard any good dealings with "cheetahs Bob".
Most recently with the Wicked molds.....which he probably didn't know anything about but still went forward with even after the fact.

Agreed, I have never dealt with him personally but there have been alot of threads over the years about "cheetah bobs" antics.

Well I think I had found my uncles old cheetah tunnel. I contacted the owner and tried to make a deal but it was all for nothing, because he went to register it and it had $1800 worth of registration fees so they gutted it, cut it up and trashed it. What I have found out is there were only 40 of those hulls made so it was rare and now it's even rarer. So if you have a cheetah tunnel hull they are few and far between. I wish I could have saved it from the trash but I was a couple weeks late. Rip cheetah tunnel

why would it have 1800 worth of registration fee's?  if its not registered for an extended period of time it gets dropped out of the system.  even my bahner was last registered in like 03 and it cost me all of like 65 bucks to bring it current.  sounds fishy to me...

There were only 40 cheetahs made because of the companies bad reputation.
Besides the sentimental value, I'd look for a crusader and replicate it.
