Re: Got The Tsunami home
I've read here that the Tsunami changed names to Sceptre in '76 due to Tsunami Boats suit, but the hull design suit is news to me. Penn Yan made a tunnel cut-away hull v-drive boat in the '70s but I don't know about any legal connection. Any more info on that would be interesting... would certainly explain its rarity on the SeaCraft hull...
Nice copycat rig, Fred  keep the boat porn coming...

Re: Tunnel/Pocket drive on Tsunami
North American, Anacapri, John Allmand, Tiara/Slickcraft, Correct Craft, Tempest, Chris Craft, SeaWind, Pacemaker/Alglas, Searay, Baretta, Thompson, and Century ALL made pocket drive inboards or V-drives with tunnels. The 24' Anacapri tunnel pocket was so deep, the boat could only back in a straight line, as the rudder had no effect at all in reverse.
My favorite was the 1972 26' Allmand flybridge with the 10' beam with twin 160 hp Volvo 4 cyl. turbo diesel straight inboards with "pocket drives". Motors and Propellers mounted a full 6' apart. 28 kts WOT, 22kts and 3 gph/per engine cruise, twin 90 gallon side tanks mounted inside the gunwales. Over 650 nm range at cruise. Sleeps 7 with full camper canvas. (I slept on the 7' long bridge bench seat) Man, that was a fishing/diving trip. West Palm to West End, to Chub Cay, to Nassau, to Stella Maris, to Great Inaugua, to Provinciales. Then non-stop to Bimini, and then back to West Palm. In 8 days. The boat never hiccuped once.
