 The
29’ Stan-Craft Torpedo that Syd Young built for Gil
Amoroso in 2003 has been continually refined since Syd’s
father, Stan, began building Stan-Craft boats in 1933. The
current generation of Torpedoes runs at speed through chop
without banging around like the original version. With 625
hp, Tomahawk’s deep-V hull can overcome its increased
wetted area for speeds over 50 mph. The goal has been to
keep the classic look and gracefulness of these boats, and
yet get them to perform and ride soft. Of the half dozen
models that Stan-Craft of Post Falls, Idaho, offers, Syd’s
personal favorites have been the torpedo and speedster configurations.
Tomahawk, with its two aft of engine cockpits, is like a
speedster with a boat-tailed stern.
