Dan Hunter's TX 19
It's a TX19 Youngblood, a boat normally associated with jet drives. I've got a 225 Merc Pro Max, monitored with Gaffrig gauges, spins a 26 Trophy Plus. The engine hangs from the transom on a CMC manual setback plate and a Stainless Marine hydraulic jack plate. Steering is a Sea Star Pro unit. Most of the billet comes from Rex Marine though the flush safety cleats are another Stainless Marine product. The trailer has been heavily modified, cutting 18" off the back and two cross members moved forward to correct the trailers CG. Also, the removable tongue (not pictured) has had a winch/pedestal attached to handle the steep ramps on Keystone Lake, OK.

Forkin', what's that ride of yours? It looks light, and tell me about the motor, is it the 2.6?

Forkin', what's that ride of yours? It looks light, and tell me about the motor, is it the 2.6? Sorry for the late reply. Been workin' from can to can't! It is a Youngblood TX 18. It was rumored to weigh 350 # when new, bare hull. I am figuring 400 # now. Repairs and all..... Too thin, and too old. I have something else in the works....looks something like yours!
BTW Nice boat! :D

Forkin,
I have a dumb question. Do they still make your Youngblood hull? I thought it would be trick to find a hull that would take dual outboards just to build something trick and diffrent? Is there a website for Youngblood?
WW eek!

Well Jim Youngblood doesn't make the TX 18 anymore, although he is working on a 20' model.
I think California Performance is making one. Not sure on the size, though. There were only two TX pickleforks, the 18 and the 20.
I think there was some one on the east coast at one time that was making a spash, but that was several years ago.
