NMNA - Grand Illusion, $6500.

It appears to have been made using the West Epoxy System.  Slather resin over a wood boat, put it in a bag and pull a vacuum; the epoxy permeates the wood.  Now you have all the feel and class of a wood boat, but the maintainence of fiberglass.

I took a moment pondering what a "fire extinguisher paddle" was. Cool info on how that "fiberglassing" is done, by the way, thanks

Wow... that looks like a lot of fun for not much $ for puttering around a lake or river once in awhile.

That is my mercruiser on a budget.  Dig it!  I wonder how much motor you could hang back there?

In reply to 84FSP :

The only response that would be more GRM would be asking if you can part it to get to challenge money with an LS swap
