Need info on Deep-V tunnel hull.

I have a 37 inch version. The Lavey bottom in your picture was basically copied from full size boats I used to build. Go to screamandfly.com under rc I had a couple for sale. The picture of the front appears more like an Avenger.

Can you be more precise on where to go on the site, please?

I can't find it on aquacraft site. Is it still made? Is it FG hull?

Not sure if it is discontinued. They come up for sale used on here and on ebay often. Yes it is FG.

They only have one rc section. It's the second or third from top. That bottom is referred to as a modvp.

The kyosho blade runner ice has a hull like that. Not sure that its a hull really worth building, but its the only one I know.

This is not the type i'm refering to. The Lavey boat is really what i'm talking about.

[tkonetzke]

Im not familiar with the Laveycraft boats, but what I can see in pictures, it is nearly the same. What am I missing?

[boilo56]

They look the same as a mono hull, but have two tunnel under it. When viewed from the top, the shape would be the same as a DF33 or Pursuit or any other model looking like that.

[tkonetzke]

Sounds just like the bladerunner ice to me..??. Regardless, I don't think its a hull worth putting much time,effort, or money into building. So its not really worth debating anyway, I was just naming the only hull I know that sounded like what you are looking for.

The Bandit Batboat was developed back in 2003 I believe. It's close to what you're looking for. You would need to extend the vee to the transom.

The plan back then was for it to be an offshore boat. Unfortunately the developer never looked at the rule book before hand. Someone should one kicking around. Can't remember the guys name from Bandit boats but I'll bet he still has the mold.

This hull bottom looks like it! After googling Stoker SST, I can say that this is the design i was looking for to apply on a DF 33 or Pursuit hull.

That boat and the bladerunner looks like they come right out of a Starwars movie! Again, my knowledge need to be improved! What is the rule book you are refering to? i Know i'm not a racer, but i think it would be cool to try doing the boat according to the rule book, or as close as i can get! thanks

That was the NAMBA rules. In 2003 the FE rules were kind of a mess. Still not perfect but at least it's all in there. Resources pull down at www.namba.com

I don't think IMPBA has FE offshore at all.

A three point tunnel would technically be a 3 point hydroplane. I think there's actually a picture of this type of bottom right in the book. I'd have to dig down into the book to see if there is some other potential class for it. It would be hydro but it would get killed by the outrigger hulls. There's such a fine line for the rule writers between "inclusive" and "free for all".

I wouldn't worry about either rule book if you're looking to build something like this. Do'n it fer fun is reason enough too.
