Hello all!
First time poster here... I have an opportunity to purchase a Crusader Hull Jet Boat which is in seemingly good shape. I'm not all that familiar with hull manufacturers other than the 'big boys' of the era(Tahiti, Hondo, Hawaiin, etc). Is the Crusader Hull a good design? The owner claims that it has full stringers(always a good start) but I thought I'd get your input before I even went to look at it. I rarely come in here, if you could try to email me as well, I would appreciate it. usa_won@yahoo.com Thanks all, I do enjoy reading this board, even if it is on a rare occasion!

Crusader tunnels are great race boats and there are a ton of them still at the track. The V bottom is nice, a friend has one with an olds powering it and it runs well into the 80's. I don't know what they were splashed from if anything but I would be surprised if they didn't get "Inspiration" from anither manufacturrer.
