[QUOTE="benjineer, post: 174893, member: 3833"] Nice boat. Tunnel hulls are very popular on the gulf coast where you have a lot of shallow flats. They are best used in combination with a hydraulic jackplate. You only jack it up high when you need to run shallow. It hurts me to see that big hole cut out. You may wish you had left it alone if you ever find yourself in some very shallow water. Keep an eye on those Nauticus Smart Tabs on the back. If one of the cylinders locks up (as mine did), it will steer you to one side. Also, be careful backing up around stumps, rocks, etc. Plastic is too easy to break, and you can't easily raise them like you can real tabs (hydraulic or electric). I gave up and removed mine. They helped plane my boat when I had a prop that was really too much for it. I got a lower pitched prop and I'm much happier with it now. Good luck with it! [/QUOTE]
