[QUOTE="rotus623, post: 431754, member: 15266"] Pros/cons sound about right. Since the tunnel is already there I would just leave it if it were me, but that's me. I have had plenty of boats, some with tunnel and some without. The tunnel does rob many benefits, but I have run over rock ledges where I would have caused some SERIOUS damage if I didnt have a tunnel. I also have UHMW on my boat, which slows me down even more. Top speed with just me and a light load is 25mph. Me, one other person, and gear loaded up we are looking at 22-23MPH. This is on a 1648 with 60/40 4 stroke. IMO, I don't really want much more speed in the treacherous waters that I run in this rig. That's why I have 2 boats :) [/QUOTE]
