Does anyone have or know of anyone who has one of these. It would be a nice upgrade from my current boat. It looks sweet https://www.basscat.com/phelix.html

Well I guess that I am wrong. I was talking to a guy at a sailboat sealer last weekend about a laser and hobie cat sailboat. He said that a lot of sailboat companies are moving to roto mold boats because of the cost of paying guys to lay down fiberglass. So I guess in this economy tin boats will be selling much faster because of there simplicity to build.LonLB said:basstender10.6 said:I am not sure of the pricing.

Easy there. :roll:
Glass boat companies typically pay the fiberglass layup guys very poorly. Many less than $10/hour, most less than $15.
