Posting this here as TFL would like comments/feedback/questions on their new design.
This is the new Tunnel Hull they are bringing to market.

The prototype has proven to be competitive, being driven by Fred S at the recent FE Nats to a third place finish. (Probably would have placed higher had I driven it, but we will never know
)
Here is the E-Mail I got from Monica (TFL) explaining what they would like to do...
"Please find the power of F1 drawings for your reference.
This power system is designed by our engineers, it is new, have not find any like this one in the market yet. Its best advantage is the new power system will solve the traditional cumbersome installation, it is easy to install. It even no need linkage rod to link on. The power system has been finished the draft, now it is under to make samples. We post the pictures in forum, not only want to share it with hobbyists, but also would like to get some available advice from them.
Power system of F1, the motor we will be 2960/1800KV or 2950/1800KV, the servo will be 6kg and also can choose a waterproof servo., the propeller will be 32mm 2 blades or 3 blades metal propeller.
We would like to let all of people know who are interested in F1, it takes so long to design the power system, because we expect TFL will offer a perfect OPC for hobbyists. This boat, we already have contacted the real boat company, we hope we can get their authorization to produce the scale RC boat. Caudwell company is very interested in this RC proposal, they support our proposal.
As previous news, TFL will offer three versions, nitro version, inboard version and outboard version. We would like hobbyists check the pictures and let us now like that it can be outboard version?"
She asked me to describe things in my own words, but her English is pretty decent so I posted it as is.
It would appear that TFL wants to make a few different versions, FE, Nitro.
So look at the pics.
