I believe the boat you are referring to is a modified tunnel. I've seen many of them running around on the river the past few years. Don't know that much about them. Most of the ones I've seen aren't that fast.

The 24 is not a true tunnel, it is a modified tunnel. From what I have heard, the 24 performs reasonably well under moderate power. I looked at them at Hidden Harbor Marine in Havasu when it was still in business. I remember the 24 with a 7.4LX was getting around 65 mph with the 502EFI at around 74 mph.

Cheetahs do OK. They're not Daytonas but very good for the money. A friends does 91 with a 572 and mine is still teething but should run very stong once I get a prop that doesn't lift the stern. The hull has put up with 1124 hp so far. Hoping for a high 120s ride.
