Looking for some kind of tunnel hull, less engine . Have a 557 ford to drop into it so I don't need a engine. Daytona ,southwind, crusader, let me know what you have .

Ran across this... Haven't heard anything bad or good about the model work though... Maybe someone will chime in.

Thank you for your post . Nice looking boat for sure.

Look into GS Marine laying one up for you. They have the 19 Daytona, 19 TPR, and one of the Gullwing molds. That'll make the most of your motor.

If you are interested in a winger, Nick here has an immaculate one already set up for a Ford.

Tom at performance jet boat has them. It's easy to do. You can also contact madskillzfab. He can make them for you.

That southwind would be nice. I got in contact with the original onwner. He said it did 106 with 850 hp . Has a (AA) STAINLESS in it. I'm not to worried about rigging it , I am a Machinst by trade and also have a mill and a lathe at home so it wouldn't be to bad to make it work. Thank you for the post. It is certainly a possibility

I just posted a Rogers Dragstar on this site. Arguably a tunnel. Some say it is a Hondo runner bottom with a Rogers top side.

Call Chris in Lake Havasu 928 -208 -9081 he has a Southwind Tunnel Dragster !

Have made up my mind and would like to take on a daytona project . I am not looking for a new boat. I have restored many cars and motorcycles, but would like to restore a daytona type boat. Must be a jet.

Will help if your more specific about your budget and how much of a project you want.

I would like to try and spend some where around 6000 and as long as the hull is in decent shape and it has a pump.. would mind if it need paint or gel , if it needs interior no problem.. I would like to take my time with it.

oooh... Hate to say it, but you might be looking for a long time. Not many out there, even in poor shape, for that price point.

Hey no problem I appreciate your honesty and opinion. There was one on here a while back . And one in Phoenix but , like I said I'm in no hurry. Thank you for your post

« **Reply #17 on:** March 04, 2016, 01:02:00 PM »

Check this Tunnel Dragster out. It looks real nice. I bet he's got 6K in the pump alone, MPD, stainless, etc. It's even tempting me and its all your fault!

This is probably as close as you're going to get. That being said, this one probably needs a bunch of work...

To bad you weren't looking a few months ago, I got rid of one that was right up your ally of price and what you were looking for.

Waiting for the tax return then I'll make my move. Drove a cp to 103.2 last weekend, so that got me wanting to get a new hull.
