Tunnel-Hull Inflatable Speed Boat X-CAT 13′ @ BoatsToGo.com

The tunnel-hull design creates a mixture of aero and hydrodynamic forces which causes an almost flying effect at full speeds. The tunnel hull helps to stabilize the boat when running in rough water, and to maintain a level angle attack even when it is airborne. The tunnel-hull boat enters and exits the water on a level plane and when returning to the water, the tunnel hull compresses the air underneath, thereby, softening the landing. The hull is based upon exact planning surfaces to minimize wetted areas and further reduce water resistance by causing air bubbles and turbulence, providing a faster surface for the tunnel-hull boat to run on.
