a 16' outboard tunnel hull
TUNNEL KING offers the high performance potential of the popular racing tunnel hulls in a model designed for multi-passenger use. Unlike competition models which carry only a single driver, this version can handle a driver plus three passengers! Naturally, the fewer the passengers, the better the performance, but even with four aboard, you'll be amazed by the rock steady ride due to the air cushion effect created by the full length twin sponsons. Maneuvering your TUNNEL KING is a new sensation if you are used to conventional boats. The boat tracks straight as an arrow, but when put into a turn, the hull remains flat and level responding quickly and positively to your action on the helm.
TUNNEL KING can be powered with moderate to high horsepower single outboards. Because all passengers sit well inboard, the stability is remarkable. Just like other tunnel boats, she is safe and secure when operated in moderate weather conditions on protected waters. Building your own TUNNEL KING is easy when you use Glen-L Plans and Full Size Patterns.
