Plastic 30' CC? (DGS Monster)

[jetur]

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.

Looks like they are located in your neck of the woods. Miami. If you want one the video says they are building a bigger brother right now.

Lol. Cool concept, but their marketing needs some work.

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.

The was a weird boat review. I call BS they were owners of the company. LOL but who know. The raccoons were cool though.

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.

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.

Hopefully, they do a build video. I could use another good laugh.

Only watching it if the raccoons are building them

Check out the Fresco Channel on YouTube. They are at that island with the racoons a lot.

That video was painful to watch. Couldn't have done a worse job.

To make it UV resistant my guess it comes in any color you want as long as it is black. Could be a great industrial or work boat.

Interesting concept. Reminds me of the SeaDoo Spark. They are all plastic. My BIL has one and it seems to be holding up well.

My big question is how does it keep from getting a warp in it somewhere. In the heat, it seems it would get somewhat soft, then when it cools with a twist, what then

They should have called it Tupperware Monster, it would sell like hot cakes

$400K , no thanks. They claim 40 yrs cycle time. My boat is 29 yrs old, no warping of any kind in the hull. Good luck for them, but they need to scale down this 3D printed boat to make it cheaper and smaller for a trash around boat.
