[QUOTE="surfman, post: 437208, member: 7404"] Years ago, I had a boat made by Dolphin boats called a skimmer, it was only 15’ long but was easily 5’ wide with a flat bottom and an aeriated tunnel hull. It was fiberglass and only weighed 600 lb. I had a 40 on it and it would run in 4” no problem, the prop ran in the tunnel and was above the bottom of the boat. When it hit a certain speed, you could feel the tunnel let go when it started sucking air in the snorkel, the boat would actually lift up. It was a cool boat but, didn’t take rough water very good as you could imagine. [/QUOTE]
