The tunnels are a Youngblood TX 18 bottom(mabey modified) with a modified deck.
The white one is a Gullwing or the(Copie) (JBE 17 foot Preditor designed by Jimmy J and Dan Rossen)
I would bet both of these molds came from Dan Rossen that use to be buis partners of Jimmy J.(Togeather they were Jetboat Engenering)(for sure the gullwing is thier old mold or a splash of it.)

Robert Skiles, watched the yellow picklefork as it was being layed up, no cheap cut corners, built one at a time, professional shop,very nice guy, real customer oriented. Im trying to swing one this winter, Vic

3 things i noticed about that website;
1-they need someone else to write their web content. Example:
"Hull construction is hand laid layers of the best Polyester Resin available"
maybe they are talking about the layers of glass?
2- huh?
"The tunnels are designed from years of testing in smooth and rough water and also are wind tunnel tested"
I seriously doubt these guys wind tunnel tested these boats.
3-
if you look at the pics of the white picklefork being layed up at the bottom of the page you might notice that they've cut the stringers at such an extreme angle that by the time they reach the front of what would be the cockpit, they aren't tall enough to mount anything to. Its real tough to bolt seat mounts to stringers that are only 1 inch tall.
all of this makes me wonder how many they have built.

Those are the special, Two for one stringers, helps keep the cost down :D Sleek

Pretty good eyes you got there, back in the day Robert was with Dan and Jimmy and the Predator process, that boat is a spawn with some changes, I wish I could remember what was changed but my memory sucks, those guys run Ft Gibson lake alot and they are quick,later Robert had a speed shop in Tulsa by the same name. I met him the first time in 85 at Rossons before he left....Vic
