Which is the better Tunnel Hull, the "Thunder Tiger Falcon 3.5" or "Dumas Hot Shot Sprint 3.5" (ABS plastic version)?

Which would go faster with a "K & B 3.5cc" engine?

Thanks, Hayden.

i dont know about speed but the falcon looks better in my opinion. the engine for the hotshot is a K&B 3.5 (not included) and the falcon has ttr's 3.5 on it (included). if you have an engine already then go with the hot shot. if you dont have an engine get the falcon. hope this helps

Both are outdated boats although the Falcon is a newer kit. The Falcon is a poor design that needs a turn fin and trim tabs to run. The Dumas boat is old but is still competitive. There are a lot better designs than the 2 that you asked about.

Yes, I already have the "K&B" engine. The "Falcon" is available with or w/out engine. I know the "Hot Shot" was designed for a "K&B" and the "Falcon" was ment for their "TT OB", but how would the "Falcon" go with a 'K&B" on it.

Would they both be similar in speed and Handling?

Can anyone suggest a better "Tunnel", I not Fussed these are just the first I came up with. But I don't feel like Building.
How about the "Prather Lap Cat 1 3.5" is it Build?

Thanks, Hayden.

Prather is another hull that has seen it's prime a long time ago. I'd go for a Hopper, Villian, DPI or another newer design. Shopping at Tower or wherever you are looking will not get you a decent boat.
