netboy Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 Here's another good article on tunnel hulls... he also mentions "The plume"😁 Tunnel hull culture | Bassmaster
fishinwrench Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 "Tunnel hull Culture" 😅 That's cute. In looking at Defoe's rig.....For the same money he could run a port side jet kicker motor on a jackplate, and not have to carry a spare lower unit and 2 spare props. Best of both worlds.
netboy Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 Perhaps the prop engine gives him the maneuverability needed to make those tight turns. I know my jet rig doesn't do tight turns very well. At any rate it was apparently "cute" enough for him to win the tournament and $50k.

How much did he lead it by? You're not going to win a derby up some shallow creek unless it's late fall. How cool ya gotta be to have a special boat just for October tournaments ?

If someone acts like they don't understand what you mean it's because they are playing word games. Just like the term "tunnel hull"......which is redneck speak for "ghetto pontoon". 🤣
