Kwik Kraft Hulls
Kwik Kraft is/was the dominating hull in New Zealand.
Designed and built by a Kiwi, Tony Ward, these hulls are tough, durable,
expertly built and good turners.
"Kwik Kraft no longer makes aluminum race hulls, as near as I can
tell."
Correction to above 1/14/2007: Tony Ward sold the business
in 2001, but it is still called KwikKraft and they still make race hulls.
Brian Cottle has owned the company since 2001 and they have been
making race hulls all this time. Here is a link to their site:http://www.kwikkraft.com/

Eagle Hulls
For about the last 12 years producing the fastest race hull has been
the single minded goal of Rob Chrunyk and the folks at Eagle Racing. Eagle
hulls hold more records and have won more races, championships and world
titles than any other hull. They make a fine 21 foot tunnel in both standard
and lightweight, and a 19 foot step-tech in both standard and lightweight.
The tunnel is intended for B, A and Unlimited racing while the step-tech
is excellent for FX class.

If you are interested in the ultimate pleasure boat, OutlawEagle also
makes the best performance/family jetboats you can buy.
Outlaw Eagle is now owned by Terry Sharkie and Dale Whiteside, both
racers.
Keelowcraft Challengers
Neil Ross makes a line of tunnel race boats in New Zealand. I don't
know much about them, got to look over one for about 20 minutes in a parking
lot one time. Here is a link to his page: http://www.jetboat.com/raceboats.html
This is a picture of Neil at the 2004 Worlds racing one in FX class.
(Which he won)
Provost Race Boats
Dave Provost has been working on and perfecting his unusual line of
wing in ground effect hulls since about 2000 in the US. I am biased as
I have owned two of them, they are the best handling and most efficient
hull I have owned. Nobody thinks they are pretty except for Dave (and me),
but everyone has taken notice of them over the last few years as he works
to refine them. So far they seem to be able to offer comparable performance
on less horsepower, enhanced stability and a total lack of a tendency to
shear. The line is called "Cobra" but are also known as wing boats. If
you are interested, let me know and I can put you in touch with Dave.

RPM Parron Mitchell race hulls, available in the U.S.
Parron worked with Tony Ward on that very successfull line of
hulls and is now planning on selling his hulls in the US. Check out the
