      24" glass mono

      What about a 24" long, white fiberglass hull, shallow Vee. Maybe about 14 degree deadrise, I do not remember. I think the hull weighs in at 14 oz or so. If interested, I can get more information.

      New, never used, $25 + shipping from indiana.

          also see my build thread on my kevlar/carbon version for more information.

          I often thought about putting a jet in one of these back in the 90's, but never did. Now I do not have any shallow water to run it in really.

          I think it would look neat with a crackerbox hatch cover cut apart so the drivers are in front with the motor in the rear like a jet boat.

            That hull screams out "jet twins"

            I wonder if a set of the mini jets would push it nicely...

            Not my thread, but very tempting hull for such an idea! If he doesnt want it I would take it...

                sold!

                PM sent. i had four of these and two are going to tiqueman, so anther is going to tiletony. PM sent to Bass tronics.....

                You guys let me know if you want the hatch covers from the crackerboxes also.

                lets say $4 more for a hatch cover if you want it. Vacuum formed from .040 HIPS. (please note the "web" of material that needs to be removed from between the helmets, haven't figured out how they used to make these without it webbing.)

                Thanks all,

                  Other option

                  The other option is I have some 1/10 cracker boxes done and ready. Hulls trimmed, glued together, back 1/2 reinforced with kevlar/carbon, 1/8" ply transom epoxied in, foam flotation up front. I think they are only 21" or so, but they are dang flat in the rear!

                  Still think the shallow vee would be good, but wanted to throw the cracker out there. No idea on price??????

                      info

                      didn't send paypal info, can't ship till Tuesday anyway, gives you a chance to see the hatch.

                      Now, this one is from the cracker box, but if you cut it in half and put the motor in the back and the two drivers up front facing forward, I think it would look close to a jet boat.

                      What do you think?
