Does anyone know anything about these hulls?

One has come up on ebay here in Aus, and we were thinking it might make a good project boat.

It looks to be a Picklefork hydro type of thing, not sure whether they were a flat or shallow V hull.

Apparently this boat had a pod mounted outboard on it, so Im guessing a V-drive conversion would be possible if we picked it up cheaply enough.

There are very few of these types of boats here, so please excuse my ignorance

Thanks in advance
Tony

They are a tunnel bottom and when setup right they will run, one of the members on the old site has one with twin turbos on it, I'm sure he'll show up pretty soon and he can give you more info on it!...

Didn't end up doing anything with this. It ended up selling for $5100 AUS ($4600 US) which was frankly ridiculous for a very average hull only with no running gear and an unregisterable trailer ( too wide for local regs).

I agree!..
