Jeff Hunter was his full name great guy. His hulls where very well built. I would hold on to that with clutched hands! Jeff Hunter is the person that made all the molds that Troy Mac. bought and started his business with. A friend of mine Doug Shepherd had a Hunter hull (88 Circus if I remember right) and ran it for a few years. The boat was a very good performer! All of this took place in the 80's. The guy's from RCU should remember and know Jeff. Hope this helps.

Jeff was a great man to the sport of 1/8 scale boat racing. Doug

My son's 88 Miller hull was originally a Jeff Hunter hull. It still had the tag with the original build date with his signature in 1988 in the bottom of the tub. When I rebuilt the boat I had to cut the bottom of the tub out because after numerous rebuilds it was so thick it was about 2lbs all by itself. I kept the section with the tag though. Most of his original stuff was matte glass with gelcoat construction. Not sure what he was building when he sold everything to Troy. I heard the molds are now in the hands of a former RCU member in Texas that is re-working them. Not sure when or if we'll see anything from them though.
