Rare and Unique Tuttle 20 Sized Sport/Rigger Kit

[longballlumber]

Hey guys,

I have a VERY unique Sport 20 Kit for Sale. This boat was designed a few years back by a gentleman by the name of Bob Tuttle. At the time this boat was designed to run within the NAMBA sport 20 nitro class. As you can see in the pictures it was on the boarder line of being legal. I do know at one point they were allowed to race at NAMBA events, but I CAN NOT confirm if it would be legal in today's Sport Hydro class. This boat CAN be raced with the rigger class.

I am not sure how many kits Bob sold, but I can tell you this is the only one I have ever seen in the Great Lakes/Midwest area (IN, MI, OH, and IL). At any rate, this is a wood kit with an epoxy fiberglass cowling. Bob originally sold this kit for $195 plus $15 for shipping.

I am looking to get $155.00 OBO shipped within the US. Please understand I am selling a box of wood (KIT). The other pictures just show the shape and lines of a finished boat. The only dimension I know at this point is the tub is 5.25 inches wide, plenty of room for cells.

Happy Boating,
Mike

This is what a finished kit looks like.

Cool lookin boat! Reminds me of a whiplash with the sponsons left open. What is the length of the finished boat?

[longballlumber]

I don't know exactly what the length is, but from the length of the cowl I would suspect 29"-31" range (transom to sponson tip)

Thanks
Mike

Are there plans with it? If so, can't you measure the length?

Bob Tuttle is a good designer! He made a really good sport 20 too!Very cool boat you have for sale there! Man, I am going to hate not jumping on this one...I just know it.....

Hi Jim,

Sorry, like most "hobbyist" selling kits out of there basement, Bob didn't include any plans. However, I am 95% sure this boat is going to be 30.5" long when built based on the length of the tub sides.

Thanks
Mike

Sorry double post...

bummer, so it's like a jigsaw puzzle then.

I don't know that I would go that far, the boat includes written instructions with a few pictures of the frame work tacked together. It's really not much different than putting a Whip together, you don't get a set of plans with his boats. Albeit, Brian's instructions are little better and more detailed. In all reality, there isn't many parts; a tub and a couple of shaped sponsons.

This boat isn't difficult to build and is far from a "puzzle"
