I guess the big draw here is the hull is maintenance free and you can beat the hell out of it. I could see LEO going this route.
Where do I order that??
Could be fun

Same thing I thought.Lol. Cool concept, but their marketing needs some work.

I was interested in the plastic / uv issue too. You would think it would be light being plastic but they said 8000 lbs which isn't light for a 30' boat.Same thing I thought.
As for the concept, sounds good. I'd be curious to know how well the composite handles the UV in long term testing. The way UV makes most plastics brittle could be a downfall. The amount of UV a boat takes in open water is substantial.
I'd think they'd have to honeycomb the crap out of the interior structure to give it rigidity. Probably quite a bit more than a traditional glass and wood layup. If it didn't, the exterior would have to be pretty thick to give it the strength to hit waves at speed.I was interested in the plastic / uv issue too.

Hopefully, they do a build video. I could use another good laugh.I'd think they'd have to honeycomb the crap out of the interior structure to give it rigidity.

Only watching it if the raccoons are building themHopefully, they do a build video. I could use another good laugh.
Check out the Fresco Channel on YouTube. They are at that island with the racoons a lot.Only watching it if the raccoons are building them
