    Nick, I think that Doug (Flying Scottsman) has one, but I can't recall at the moment what it's called. Check with him.

      I wanna say that's a Prather hull, but don't remember what the name actually was... Guys on International Waters would know for sure...

          That's right. It is a Lap Cat I believe. Standby for a link of Doug's...

          I'm pretty sure that Doug was attempting to get a rise out of me at the time. I don't and have never had an issue with him. He was very helpful when he shared the pictures and measuring for me.

              I have a 3.5 cc Prather tunnel and it doesn't look like the one you have. Aeromarine?

                Is it glass? It almost looks like plastic...the way the deck meets the hull. I had a lap cat III. Definitely not the same, but could be an older Lap Cat like someone mentioned.

                There were a lot of tunnels out in the late 80's by dumas, prather, etc...
