Tunnels with flood chambers?

[BHChieftain]

Hi,
I've seen an H&M micro tunnel with a flood chamber-- anybody seen any larger tunnels that can work with one? I'd love to see a 28-30" F1...

what i should have also mentioned is there are videos of it here http://ostendospreys.com/News/Videos/Videos.html Enjoy !!!

we actually have 3 builds of this hull on the go so watch out for more action soon !

I've seen the H&M skater self-righting as well as the microkat. I don't see why any F1 cat could not be made to self right as long as its either of moulded or built-up construction, obviously WOF construction makes installing a flood chamber rather difficult.

HOLY CRAP! That F1 Tunnel is freaking FLYING! WHAT is the power system in that thing, and how to you even keep it on the water at those speeds?

Couldn't find the self-righting OPC video. Can you direct us to it?

Be aware that if the motor is mounted in-board (like mine) it is no longer a tunnel, but now a catamaran. (from what I understand)

Which of the videos is the self righting tunnel? Couldn't find it on the website you referenced.

The white F1 tunnel in the videos is self rigting I thought there was video there of the righting action but it seems not.

If i dont have some i will get some soon, that boat has now had a paint job and looks pretty cool.

Diegoboy, Not sure on the technicalities of it but we race them in what we call a catamaran class!
