Here's NAMBA's Thunderboat hull specs.

Hull Specifications

i) The boat may be of wood or fiberglass construction.

ii) The hull length will be between 48 56.

iii) The hull width will be a minimum of 24.

iv) The transom will be a minimum of 10 in width.

v) The hull design will only be one of the following types: round nose,

step deck, or chisel nose.

vi) Nothing on the boat may be further than 5 1/4" behind the transom

The Van's Px would be legal.....cabovers are okay.

The Roostertails would not be in Classic....no picklefork designs.

Washington has a Scale Hydroplane (modeled after real Unlimiteds) gas class any hull is legal with full mod engines.
