“Mini Maltese Magnum Missile” TU-9 Tunnel Hull Speed Testing – “Dialed in at Lake X!”
Round 2 of speed testing in my boat! Its pretty much in its final form minus the hatch cover and the new gas tank (fuel pump setup as opposed to pressure tank so I can fit the cover on). Was a fun project to build and even more fun to drive!

@jwandhistools its a blast!!! It didn’t turn too deep in this video, but the way its setup now you can cut a turn at full throttle and it feels like you are on rails

@MovieMakerKeith I looked at the build vid. Looks like it took some real skill to make that thing. Were there plans for this, or did you just wing it? I want to build bucket seats for my jet, but don’t know where to start.

@MovieMakerKeith Oh wait, I just looked again and saw where you got the plans from. Looks like a good deal. Wonder if he has plans for bucket seats? hehe..

@jwandhistools haha that would be nice. My dad and I mounted a seat from a fishing boat onto a board that can be locked in or removed from my boat. Faster and more nimble without it but very comfortable! You can buy a kit with all the pieces pre-cut and plans, however my woodworking teacher made me trace out all the pieces and make them myself. Challenging but very fun to build!
