Its slightly different than a current CP tunnell. The front of the sponsons are much more aggressive on these (dangerous) Could be a few different boats, texas tunnell is a possibilty.

Saw that on Ebay, its listed as a Bitz Texas Tunnel. I was told Bitz was a Canadian boat in origin. There is a guy out at the local lake, that has a Bitz hydro, one sweet ass boat too, may have a pic of it.....
This is the hull number of that red & white gullwing as shown in the listing... Hull #: TZ1BTT00995E
Link to the listing......http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1995-Bitz-18-Ft-Texas-Tunnel-Jet-Boat-Classic-Red-White_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ80653QQihZ012QQit emZ220073183787QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

From what I hear, Texas Tunnels NEED seat belts.
A pump builder I know calls 'em "Texas-Get-Wets". :D :D

isnt this what you need if you want to go FAST? did these hulls come with diff weight layups? this is the hull style that i am looking at.. to throw say around 1k h.p. in! i havent read much good on these. but to get a gullwing at a decent price is a whole nuther deal.

They are great for going fast. Just don't slow down or turn fast. They are known for getting squirrelly on shut down. BL

there are a few of them out there, and most are like the ones shown. the best is the cp tunnel. the cp has a slightly diff tip on the sponsons, and is not as prone to nasty shut downs. however, the cp can still get crazy if your foolish with it. my cp tunnel has been a dream on shut downs, and i have been stupid a few times. i still run a jet away and a pop-off valve for safety. the others donnt seem to be tooled as nice as the cp's, but i would imagine the bitz would be built nice, but the sponsons are not. cs 19 is a complete fag, but he knows alot about theses things if anyone has real ?'s if anyone wants aone of the hands down nicest cp tunnels out there, let me know. i dont have much time for the races anymore. but be prepared to pay for quality.
