They'll take a drowning is more like it. If you haven't driven that cub yet, you won't fully understand. I drive mine in swimming shorts and ski goggles because you get REAL WET in anything but glass flat water 
Its fun on a hot sunny day
The more I look at your pic, the more I think what you have is a splash of the cougar cub called a GREW cub. Cougars didnt have that much motor well if I recall but the grews did to accomodate a 20 inch motor instead of the 15 the cougars used.

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
They are a real biotch to plane with a 25 propped high enough to get em zooming.Gotta lean out onto the deck to get em over the hump. Mine ran just around 32 speedometer with a 25 jonny on it. Hopin for 40 to 45 with a 40 merc twin.

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
A few pages back someone was looking for a mini boat.
There are two BobCat Tunnels for sale. I am pretty sure you'll get a heck of a deal on these....They were designed and built by Bob Carlson. He even raced them (I raced against him at Parker), designed for stock 40hp motors. (60 mph). I have more friends that owned these too. They won't do well in rough water, but fly when the water isn't too choppy.
Original message from another thread:
Hi, I am not a boat racer but have aquired 2 Bobcat tunnel hull boat hulls.Do these have any value?If so, how much.Any help or advice would be appreciated, I would like to get them out of my garage.

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
MBR, I didnt realize you ended up with the molds. I just bought a Cugar Cub a few weeks ago. I had it delivered to my fathers house up in NH so I havent even seen it other than a video I was emailed.
Cant wait to wait to strip it and re-rig. Ill be interested to see what you find with balance and rigging when you start biulding. Suposedly it is running 38 (GPS) with an old 30 merc and 200lb driver now but I will be repowering.
