    I'm looking to start a new project for the winter. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a Silverwing tunnel that is for sale. Would like it to be setup with twin OBs. So, if anyone has any info, it would be greatly appreciated.

    My only question is:Why Silverwing?

    Not too many tunnels out there with the kind of room that is in a Silverwing. Plus they are very fast and stable for a 20' boat. Talked with Jim last week, just wondering if anyone out there had some inside info on someone ready to sell one.

    Four years ago I raced one in my Stoker with a 260hp merc.He had twin mercs.It wasn't even a race.I must addmit I was so far ahead of him I thought maybe he was testing or something.I'm not taking anything away from Jim,I'm sure he builds a great boat,but for a 20 or 22 foot twin set up it should be running in the 115 mph area to be considered fast.

    I thought he bought all of those molds, from the originators of the designs. I don't think you should blame him for something he doesn't know how to do. eek! P. S. that boat won the PARKER, way back. It had a Jag. V12, and it out lasted all the others. Can you say Continental?

    You raced one with your Stoker, and that's how you formulate your opinion? I have seen a Silverwing at parker last year with twin 200's radar at 118mph, and not in the best condidtions. Plus the Silverwing is a great rough water boat for it's size. I'm not trying to take anything away from Stoker, I've spent a fair amount of time in one as we used to ski race one in OB class.
