I don't know anything about this tunnel. Other than it is about nine feet long. Can anyone help identify this tunnel and its value?

I would say it is a Mirage "Bobcat". Should be about 10' long.
Wasn't the Tomcat 12' and the Bobcat 10'?
I think this is a Speed Marine, Mitch Lemke, tunnel. There is a brand new one, E-performance a in Tito Smith's yard in Havasu landing.
I got the boat from Greg Foster who got it new, looks like this boat.
A Lemke Tunnel Boat was Dave Rankin's first race boat, a Sport C.
The Bob Cat was first designed and built by Bob Carlson. Then Blake Esau from Las Vegas bought the molds and build maybe thirty of them.
If you are working on a boat for the Mini Boat Enduro, get the red, orange and yellow Quarter Pounder, Addictor in the background.

Wasn't Lemke the guy that had the 12 cylinder KT tunnel that won Havasu years ago. Barry

It is one of our Silverwing 2010's, that we built at Speed and Marine back in the 80's. Mitch Lembke and I won the Parker Mini Enduro in one just like this in 1986, Mitch's brother Marty built the plug and molds for these boats to look like the 20 foot tunnel that he also built, the year after we won the Parker Enduro with our wood Seebold with a 12 cylinder Jaguar.
Wow, so this boat may have some history behind it.
Here are a few more pictures. Now back to the big question how much is it worth ?
