Ya know, when i was shopping for a hull i ran across dozens of bubble decks, T-decks, Hondo's, Sangers, Lavey's but the barron Sprint caught my eye. They are out there but not too many. They were built to compete in the circle boat races of the 70's. Basically it''s a Hallett deck with a narrowed Biezmeir bottom. You would see these things running many different classes. anything from carb'd 427cuin engines to alky injected 1500hp+ K-boats. The k's run deep into the 140mph's then turn left
I really like the hull also, very good in the rough water. seems to run better in choppy water than smooth.

My uncle's was badass. All white with a black stripe around the edge and a big black Barron Sprint logo on the deck. Blown 454 on nitro, 2 speed Casale, basically the works. All Balsa with no flotation foam to save on weight. Rigged by Mr. Sunny Jones himself. It was nasty. I watched him flip it one day when I was a kid. Taking some poor guy for his first ride in anything other than an I/O. Both survived and so did the boat, but it wasn't pretty. He sold it soon after that and bought a TR3, but just never could get over that flip and sold it as well. I've been looking for that Hallet for years now, but it's MIA.
