Great looking boat. Why weld the hand hole cover though?? Thanks Randy
Here's the new boat. An Eagle 21' Tunnel lightweight. It's kind of bare at this time will be ready for spring. Bare hull weight - 570 lbs. Power - 434ci small block w/575 HP.

One of the inside. This boat is the the same as the boats from the EagleRacing.ca videos.

Awesome..how about bringing it down to Havasu this summer? I'll show you where the river is...
PS- the only "white-water" is from the girls sunblock, though...
The welded hand-hole is for strength. Bolts breaking on re-entry has finished some guy's races. We also fill the inside cracks with bondo for a smoother intake. As far as going to Havasu, I'd really like get down there at some time. It would be way to good to meet some of the guys from here

Although the water there is a little shallow...don't know if you're used to that...
Also, we like our drinks cold...
Wow! That's one nice looking rig. You would definately get some attention down in these parts with that boat.
I bet its pretty damn fast being that light!
Don't mean to pry , but how many skins will it set you back to buy one as that sits ????
Dave
The correct name for that thing is "Bare Eagle
" wink

If you check their website at www.harbercrafteagle.com they have a complete price list for a rigged and unrigged hull. I know the guys that own the joint so I best not say my cost in case it is a bit cheaper (I hope it is, after buying 3 other boats there).
Very cool boat You will have to keep us all posted on how it turns out(speed,interier,speed,etc.)
