Glad you like it.
Depending on how it performs I plan to scale it up to around 45"

I'm staying well away from gelcoat all together.
Most people seem to prefer to do their own paint sceme so I don't see the point in gelcoating if its going to be painted over, plus theses quite a bit of weight to be saved not gelcoating.
I will however, offer these hulls in a polyurethane primer only or painted finish.

We should have some video footage next weekend of both the ski boat and the 47" mono in trial runs to see how they perform.

Jay.

will most definitely be shipping to the US.
The ski boat comes in at $110 for insured shipping with 5-8 day delivery. Quite a lot less than I thought itwould be.
