RE: fuselage identification
It does look like a Sea Bird (ugh!) but it seems to be fiberglass rather than Lanier's two piece plastic. I know that Lanier bought that design from DuBro, back in prehistoric times. Maybe it is one of the original DuBro models.
I would hate to think that anyone would spend the time and effort to copy the Sea Bird in fiberglass. [sm=sad_smile.gif]
