Does anybody know anything about who manufactures the hornet style boat I don't see anything about them much but yet that's what it says on my pink slip.

Thanks that's about all I could get too. Have any pictures of your boat?
-
good looking boat, are the guage pods molded into the dash? do you have a pic of the transom?
-
I was told that hornet was the original maker of that bottom which was splashed by Liberty and Hawaiian. The bottom of those boats are proven to work.

+2, could you snap a pic of the transom? I have a hull made by sun mfg co out of Anaheim and it has angled gauge pods molded into the dash and the bottom on it just looks like it was made to go, the strakes are maybe 1/4-1/2 in deep and the outer chines are almost 2 1/2 in deep. Not to mention its a full stringer boat and I can pick it up by myself. It's stupid light, I grabbed the back side and was able to pick it up over my head.
-
Yea the dash has the kick offs molded into it.
-
Here is a better one with it in the water.
-
I just find this hull a little odd because the hull vin was not molded with the boat it was added later.
-
Like it was carved in, does the hin start with Hmub? Goin off the pics it looks just like my hull. Same lip on the rear splash guard as well.
-
Yup sure does. Here you go!!
-

My hin starts with hre on my 1979 hornet. So I looked your hin HMUB and it also came up as hornet. This is what my boat looks like.

Here is the label for hornet boats I just made river hat. I also took my boat over to jack McClure and he set this boat up back in 1981. He had paperwork and specs of what was done back then. I think it's cool when you stumble on history of something we own. It may not be a race boat but it's my river boat.
