Default 2004 DUX Performance Inflatable 13ft Hammerhead LOTS OF PIX and Video

2004 Dux Performance Inflatable BOAT IS LIKE NEW

This boat is one of the fastest and safest inflatable boats on the market. This boat was only used one time with at 15hp Yamaha. With this motor the boat was able to reach 29 mph with a 200lb guy. With its true tunnel hull design the boat will lift and ride on the high jacker sponsons which allow the boat to be fast and nimble. With a 50hp motor these boats reach speeds over 60mph with two people.

See attached video:

wow, cool. looks like a load of fun for little money.
get a 50 hp 2 stroke and let the fun begin!
But with the crazy intentions one gets from watching the utube link, where do they pack the fuel cell so it doesn't end up strangling the captain or crew or go overboard in the "fun"?

Could this be used with a outboard with a jet leg or only prop?

Bc22,

The race fuel cells are just like a bladder that attaches to the center of the boat. I believe that they hold 10-12 gallons. I never got the boat for racing and only used a 15 hp Yamaha with a 6 gallon tank that you get a west marine. It is a fun boat even with the small hp. A 25 would push the boat in the low 30’s with 2 people and fuel..

I don't know about a jet leg, I have seen prop guards on the outboards and I know that guards are mandatory for racing. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea even for recreational use.....

These boats with 40-50 hp motors will flat run, and in a lot of people’s opinion are more fun and cheaper then jet skis. Plus when you are done with it. It will fold up into a small space.

Thanks for the interest.

Thats the coolest inflatable I've ever seen. I would love to run that with a 50hp. 70hp is crazy, but i would love to watch.

These inflatables are cool, and if you go to youtube you can see a couple that are running 70 hp motors. There are a few that are blue printed and bored out to make over a 100hp on a boat that weighs less then 200lbs....

Thanks for the bump.

This boat would make a great dingy for anyone looking. Make an offer, you never know what might be considered.

cscott,

I am sure that there can be some sort of starboard added to keep the water out, but the boat was designed to have an open transom. The reason for this was incase of a large wave coming over the bow while in a race the boat would drain in a matter of seconds. If you watch the youtube video you will see why they design these boats this way. Thank you for the interest.
