Title: 1992 liberator tunnel 20'
Post by: Mr smith on June 29, 2016, 04:58:28 PM: I have got a new project .. I figured this would be the best place to get advice .. I have never owned a tunnel boat so I'm not sure what to expect .. Ride ? How low It will sit in the water ? Turning ? .. That kind of stuff lol
