The Exclusive ClackaCraft Tunnel
Hull
with Reverse Keel Tracking Channels

The Exclusive ClackaCraft Tunnel Hull
is now here!
Since the early development of the drift boat, most
changes have been minor cosmetic changes. It was not until
the ClackaCraft R&D
team combined computer technology with 24 years of on-the-river-experience
and significant input from our pro-guide staff that there was
any real improvement in drift boat hull
design.
ClackaCraft incorporated a computer-designed
tunnel that was a major advancement in drift boat design.
The tunnel hull was such a tremendous success we incorporated
the
tunnel
in our 15', 16' and 17' models. This prompted R&D to take
the next step.
An elongated tunnel, along with side water tracking channels
to the left and right act as reverse keels. These channels direct
the water straight, keeping the boat in line, with out the liability
of a square chine.
The addition of a very slight "V" has been incorporated
in the front to reduce water slap from wave action on the bottom
for a smoother ride.
We have added another inch of width to the bottom making
it 57" wide, for even greater load capacity. The tunnel
hull floats even higher in the water making it easier to row
when loaded to capacity.
