    Tunnel Hull

    Guys lemme know if any of y'all run across a 17-18' aluminum tunnel hull. Got a good friend lookin one and it appears a good used one is hard to find. He would prefer a bass type set up. Some are center consoles and they will work....thanks.

    The tunnel hulls I like are fiberglass and they have 300XS motors.
    They just about jumping of the water from a dead start and will top 100 mph.

    You can look on the la sportsman classifieds they have a few there from time to time. There is a 16' on there with a 200 that was my buddy's. It sold last week though.

    Some of the places I fish one with a true bass top cap would be awesome.

    But other areas it would not. I've often thought about it but can't justify another boat just for some areas

    I hated tunnels with a prop and jet both. Neither one worked right. Nothing runs shallower than a good blazer sport or SS flatbottom

    No the blazer aluminums are made in missouri. I just sold one on fastbass last year- a blazer SS
