boat hull identity

I actually was just now able to contact Mark Gilbert, the dad of the driver, ALex..He said the hull is a Torenfleet hull. I have asked for more info on it. It happens to be for sale..It is just a really cool looking boat to me...I am wondering if it could be run in any of the classes in the USA.

That boat and motor combination is not legal in any class anywhere in the USA I am aware of.

There is a couple of regional class in the MN area it is kind of close to:

If the powerhead is a Tohatsu M50D2 it is a legal class "D" Stock Outboard. Power trim and long shaft not allowed though.

Vee-Hulls never caught on here in the States because we have so much good water compared to Europe. No hull design takes the snotty water better than a Vee-hull. Unfortunately Vee-hulls are also slower than flat bottom runabouts, Tunnels, or 3 and 4 point Hydroplanes.
