Thread: Anyone know anything about Taylor Tunnels?

    Taylor boats of Cushing OK did build three tunnel boats. I sold all three of them. They were actually made out of the Youngblood 18' mold that Ervin capps of Condor had been using. That was right around 1991. That's the only tunnel boats that were ever built by the Oklahoma company.

    Me to. I would love a Cheyenne from HTP with a blower motor.
    Hey, step right up. I've got a new yellow one coming in, in the next two or three weeks that is not sold yet. I can fix you right up. I also have a new 2006 Tom Papp Racing Stealth 19' Carbon Fiber hull in stock if anyone might be interested.

    This one is 10 years older than that, so it does not sound like this is one of the Youngblood molds.

    I think they are called tunnel bottoms. This one is an 1982 Bahner.

    Southwind tunnel dragsters have a simular bottom, and I think they would be considered heavy. The one I have seen are pretty fast.
    They are supposed to handle better at high speeds than a V bottom. V bottoms can rock from side to side at high speeds, if the rock to one side too much it will catch an edge and make a sharp turn, tossing everyone out.
    I got mine from e-bay, but wish I would have spent more money and got a gullwing, or true tunnel hull.

    The three tunnels that Duane said were built in Oklahoma would have looked nothing like the boat in your pictures if it was built from a Youngblood 18ft tunnel mold. The Youngblood 18ft tunnels were VERY low freeboard pickleforks and everyone I have ever seen was pretty light weight, mine sure was. They were very quick and didn't take much power to make them go. Correct me if I'm wrong Duane.

    Sounds like you have been docking a houseboat again.
