Wow that is kinda cool. It doesn't even make me feel like they messed up a perfectly good sailboat to make it.

The transoms look wrong for a 18, and the hulls don't look curved enough. Not arguing, just find it curious.
Upon further review, the runner failed to touch second base, Touchdown Celtics. πŸ˜€
The hulls may have been made using 18 hulls as molds.

I guess "reading IS fundamental" 😎 I may just have to learn how....

Pushing a rig that large with three hulls in the water at 22mph with a 25 Merc ain't bad. It is probably really good on fuel also. It would make a real good chase boat for a cat fleet.
