Nothing wrong with that, right inline with the hull's intended use. Texas Tunnels are a whole 'nother animal. Super quick drag boats that have quite a legacy behind them.

is it the old Mavrick boat
?
Thats the boat Im thinking it is as well. Hey Andy there is a guy that runs on twak has a narrow cock pit tx 19 and his is center steer. But he has a bench seat behind center front seat. Kinda like on outboard allison boats do. He said he did it that way so he could take the wife or friend and a cooler and it would be leveled out. Just and idea for ya. If its the shrek boat that boat use to sit in forney Tx in a shop for years. Im not expert by no means but I would try to keep it center steer. Good luck with build or sale which ever you choose. I use to have a earl smith tx 18 exact same boat as Ken sr loved it sold it to eric and we dont talk about what happen to it then :smile18:

FOR SALE
NEEDS A NEW HOME.
I have a jet boat that works fine. I'm thinking about the hours this project is going to take and am having second thought.
so far i have removed everything except the intake housing. I have cut open the stringers and cleaned them out. It will need front bulkhead replaced, stringers, gunwhale supports and balsa core in places. the center balsa is great.
I have for this boat: original steering system, seat and mount, t style fuel tank, setback berk pump with split bowl and transom plates.
I paid $1200 i'd like to get $1200.
I got a 01 vette LS1 67k miles perfect engine for this, it has MSD coils and AFR heads on it. I need $3K for the motor.
anyone interested? PM me or call 214-674-4857 Andy Vestal
