Happening at Havasu
By Aaron Sanchez
The 2010 Quakeysense IJSBA World Finals went off in a big
way this October at Lake Havasu, Arizona. Every year it
seems to grow closer to a true World event with an ever
increasing international contingent, each with their own
style and speed secrets. This year champions were crowned
from all over the globe including France, USA, Sweden,
Canada, Japan, Russia and many other far off regions. The
racing was ferce, the track was insane and the weather was
perfect for what could only be called one of the best world
fnals in years.
Out of the gates, this years crop of youngsters were on
display for the whole world to see, and they put on a show
that brought the bleachers to their feet. A truly international
feld, the kid shredders rode their eighty pound butts off all
the way through the checkered fags. Friends and family
cheered and race team owners got a glimpse of the future.
That future looks bright for Estonias Markus Lutsokert
now that he has a world championship under his belt in the
Junior Ski 1315 Limited class. This is the stepping stone
class for all future novice, expert and pro racers and Markus
will go out on top, ready for the challenge. Also looking
really strong and taking second place just behind Lutsokert
was Team Fazzas Almur Bin Huraiz from Dubai on his
slick black Hydrospace machine. Those two, along with
third place rider Toshi the Samurai Ohara from Japan,
went nuts on the racecourse while fans went nuts in the
crowd. Rounding the top fve and battling it out to the very
end were fourth place Luke the Iceman Day of Australia
and USAs Alec Hollandell in ffth. Look out world, these
kids are coming!
Wetracer Magazine 6
on slightly modifed and similar handling craft and lined up
for six laps of mayhem. After the freworks settled in the
post race technical inspection area it was Riverside, CAs
Tyler Hill making mom and dad proud with a fat number
one plate. Tyler worked very hard aboard his Sea Doo for
his win against Texas Joseph Roberts who was all over
him on a Sims Racing prepped HX. With Joseph claiming
second place the race for third was epic as fellow Texan
Curtis Reinburg went back and forth with two Yamaha
mounted riders Casey Mauldin and Craig Woodberry.
Things got dicey, but Reinburg was able to eek ahead of
Mauldins immaculate Image Pro Designs Blaster for third
as Woodberry brought it home in ffth.
As the weekend rolled in there was a defnate change
in the atmosphere, both in the stands and in the pits. It
was time to break out the big guns and satisfy the need
for speed. Like an answer to the call, frst up came Ski
GP. Outrageously loud and insanely fast, these monster
machines have no limits; its run what you brung, and lets
see what youve got. Past champion Mike Klippenstien
made the trek all the way from Fort McMurray, Canada
to lay the smack down on his red and black # 1 star boat.
The Klipper was on fre, and had to be to fend off the hard
charging Austrian Kevin Reiterer aboard his signature black
Hydro. By the fnal laps the crowd was on its feet as both
riders took different splits only to merge with nailbiting
elbow to elbow drag races. Klipper looked relieved as he
took the checkered in front of a determined K-Ret in what
was easily one of the best races of the Finals. Although
they were in an entirely different race of their own,
As always, Expert Ski Limited was one of the most
competetive races of the week and this years champion
had to fght off some long time heavy hitters for the crown.
Hometown hero Brandon McMillan rode the rails off his
Queen Racing / Walts Motorsports Hydro and showed the
boys and girls how its done. His sparkle orange ski looked
like the great pumpkin as he checked out early and never
looked back. If he would have, he would have seen a ferce
four way battle raging behind him between Belgiums
Quinten Bossche, American Jake Zier, female phenom
Anya Colley and Dubais Omar Alrashid. With similar
powerplants the action was tight and the laps went fast.
As the water settled it was Bossche in second, Zier third,
Alrashid taking fourth and Anya limping in her smoking
ride for ffth.
The fastest expert level riders settle their scores in the Open
classes. Make no mistake these racers will be the next
pros and they are dead serious in their efforts to secure a
world title on their way out of the amateur ranks. Pantus
Andersson of Sweden piloted his Park Dog sponsored ski to
the winners circle in Amateur Ski Open and served notice
that he was the man to beat in 2010. Second place rider
Tiago Geitens was also on the gas aboard his Blowsion
prepped Hydrospace as was Indiana native Jake Zier taking
third on his DZ Racing thumper. United Kingdoms doll
Anya Colley and Hungarian hot shot Gabor Satbo flled out
the gang with top four and fve fnishes respectively.
By far the most talked about and controversial class of
the week had to be Sport Spec. A class that was intended
to be cheap and fun, is all that and then some! Shadetree
mechanics and pro engine builders alike worked their magic
Wetracer Magazine 7
909, did not race in the fnals. After winning his heat race,
the champ made an ill advised decision to race in the LCQ
and requalify a different craft - and thats when disaster
struck. Craigs Factory Monster Kawasaki machine broke!
That left the door wide open for a host of heavy hitters
with big horsepower to claim the throne. Aptly, it was
King D Dustin Farthing who trounced the competition
aboard his Mountain Motorsports/ Kawasaki sponsored
beast and claimed the crown. Farthing checked out and
was long gone by the halfway point which left another
Dustin, Charrier to battle it out for the runner up spot on his
Riva prepped Yamaha triple. Nabbing a sweet third place
was the United Kingdoms James Bushell on a Sea Doo
followed closely by the pair of Yamahas of John Hecox
and Trey Frame. It was a long race that truly pushed man
and machine to the limits of speed and endurance while
showcasing the various manufacturers latest toys.
Pro Ski is and has always been the class to watch at Finals
for the sheer entertainment value provided by world
class athletes on the coolest, fastest machines ever to
have a handlepole. As we enter a new decade of racing
some things change and some things remain the same.
Representing change is the new crop of young international
riders that have been making their mark on the Europian
and Japanese tours like Reiterer, Kurahashi, Botti, Bossche
and many other seriously fast riders. Reppin the old
school were the usual suspects like MacCluggage, Flores,
Rius, Lawrence and a gang of Havasu regulars, all with
their sights on the World Title. As the two card went up
so did the fans to get a better view of the action. Two...
One.. Sideways...Snap! In a spray of jetwash and a buzz
of exhaust, the race was on and the elbows were out. Chris
MacCluggage looked beyond strong aboard his all black
Macc Racing / Bullet prepped SXR based ride and many
thought the championship was his for the taking until a
huge dismount left him swimming for his ski as the title
Kurahashi Yuki, Ronny smurf Mangerud and Jake Barker
still had their hands full battling it out for third, fourth and
ffth in that order.
Theres nothing better than a catfght in wetsuits and
helmets on the water, and the ladies of Womens Pro
Ski Limited delivered the goods in spades once again.
The queen bee, Emi Kanamori backed up her 2008
championship with another big win at Havasu in convincing
fashion. While many thought her Factory Kawasaki
prepped SXR could not outrun the Hydrospaces on such
a large, wide open track, she romped away with two big
holeshots to victory aboard the # 600 machine. With Emis
smooth style, tiny stature and unstoppable stamina, the real
race was for second place and beyond. Scratching her way
to a second place fnish was another Japanese SXR mounted
rider Enami Ishikama who had a hard charging Aussie on
her tail. Kylie Elmers rode her heart out and made her bid
for the spot, but Enami shut the door to fnish just ahead of
Elmers who earned a hard third. Kommander Industries
Lisa Barsbey fnished fourth while Quakeysense equipped
Anya Colley came in ffth.
Few things on this Earth are quite like a World
Championship Pro Runabout Open race. Nowadays, a
Runabout is a three seater, fuel injected, spooled up missile
and the start alone is worth the price of admission. Twenty
sit down craft hopped up on steroids and about to blow
up, piloted by insaniacs who have no problem going into
turn one blinded by the spray at 70 plus MPH makes for
some great racing. With the throaty roar of the four stoke
engines and the crackling, popping sounds of the turbos
its not only a sight to see but an aural assault similar to an
NHRA Drag race event. The drama always seems to follow
this class around like a dark cloud, and this year was no
different. Arguably one of the favorites and then current
reining World Champion Craig Warner, the pride of the
Wetracer Magazine 8
slipped away. With Macc off the pace, it was all about Jean
Baptiste Botti from France on the Tech One / Quakeysense
sponsored Hydrospace who had to hold off a late race
charge from 2009 World Champ Kevin Reiterer. K-Ret was
on the hunt, but Botti had plenty of speed of his own and
had it covered. As the checkered fags few, it was Botti
with the gold, Reiterer taking the silver, and MacCluggage
recovering for a heartbreaking bronze. With so many fast
riders in this class its hard to stop with just the top three and
not mention some of the shining stars of the sport. Fourth
and ffth place went out to Japans Kurahashi Yuki and
USAs Rob Flores respectively while a mob of riders fought
it out for the remaining fnish positions. In the battle of the
pack were notables Mike Klippenstien in 6th, Rick Sherker
taking 7th, and Norways superfast Yamaha rider Ronny
Mangerud working his way up to 8th. Filling out the top ten
and giving their sponsors something to cheer about were
9th place Bill Haig and Kommanders wonderkid David
Redinger in the 10th position.
Once a year in October the worlds best amateur and pro
freestylers battle it out on the water in what has become
not only a show of fashy tricks and backfips, but a kind
of presentation time for the newest and hottest watercraft
parts, paint and accessories. With the new B.O.B. (Backfip
on a Budget) ski, the super cool Rickter ride and all the RRP
stuff all being tossed around on the lake its a jet ski junkies
dream. In Amateur Freestyle Alexander Kuramsmin came
all the way from Kazan, Russia and layed the smack down
against the rest of the world on his way to frst place. Alex
was in the zone as he busted out all the tricks with precision
and style. Hailing from England and taking second place
was Jack Moule while Vaclav Zacek broke out of the
CZzech Republic to claim third. In the Pro Freestyle wars
it was youngster Lee Stone from Chesterfeld, UK on the
new 1200 CC EME Q8 SKY and HydroTurf sponsored
ride pulling off the big win. Lee was all business throwing
out multiple backfips, barrel rolls, supermans and every
other variation in his own fashy and friendly style. Japans
Fumikazu Watanabe looked way cool in his brand new
Quakeysense gear and fung his Superjet around in a stellar
routine that earned him a second place fnish while Rok
Florjancic of Slovania wowed the crowd for third. Also
looking razor sharp and rounding out the top four was
Hiroshi Watanabe representing Hot Products. By the
reaction of the fans and the number of entries this year,
Freestyle is still a major part of the World Finals and the jet
ski scene.
With all the awards handed out and the last of the post
race parties in the books, we can look forward to the 2011
IJSBA World Finals next fall. If its anything like this years
Superbowl of watercraft racing then it will be well worth
the wait. Congratulations to Scott Frazier and the IJSBA
for once again putting on a truly world class event, and
much respect to title Sponsor Quakeysense for making it
happen. Co-sponsors that deserve a hats off are Hydro-
Turf, Monster Energy Drink, Kawasaki, Skat Trak, Yamaha,
Sea Doo, McGraw Insurance, VP Fuels and many, many
others.
Its a long, cold winter but when the sun comes out, the skis
will hit the water and for many of us, the countdown to
World Finals will begin again. The countdown to friends,
family and good times may seem long, but its well worth
the wait. See you in Havasu 2011.

THE LEGEND
KEVIN GREEN ABOVE ALL ODDS
WETRACER:
How has the physical impairment affected or challenged you in
the sport of watercraft racing?
KEVIN:
Physical Impairment wasnt really a challange for me, it was me
racing a stand-up ski sitting down. Theyre was alot of talk in
the pits and on the beaches. I heard sayings like look hes not
standing up that was unvtil they seen the I had lost both my legs.
WETRACER:
What was your motivation to ride stand-up skis?
KEVIN:
My motivation to riding stand-up started when I raced 3 wheelers
in the mid 80s. 3 wheelers were outlawed in the late 80s then in
the mid 90s a friend asked if i would like to go to the lake and
ride his ski? hmmm sounds like a good idea to me. frst time I
got on the ski, it felt like me sitting on my 3 wheeler. He showed
me where the on/off and throttle was and it was on then, I WAS
HOOKED !!
WETRACER:
Who was your biggest motivator in the industry that got you
involved with watercraft?
KEVIN:
I would have to say my biggest motivator in the industry had to
be all the racers themselves. I love being around everybody in
watercraft racing. Everybody helps everybody. If a racer has a
problem, theres a racer with a solution. Ive seen them go as far as
loaning theyre own race boat,$20,000 - $60,000 skis.
WETRACER:
In all of your seasons of racing what was your biggest
accomplishments?
KEVIN:
Through all my years of racing my biggest accomplishments
would have to be getting to know all my friends and family of
watercraft racing. Next would have to be the ramp. I frst seen the
ramp and it reminded me of 3 wheeler racing in the 80s jumping a
double or triple. Of course there was controvsey over them letting
me go over the ramp with the shape I was in. But eventually they
let me and, I think everybody was in awe when they seen how fast
I hit the ramp and how far I went.
WETRACER:
What has been the worst injury that you have received while
riding watercraft?
KEVIN:
My worst injury? Out of breaking my leg while I was in Ft.
Myars, FL and had to drive all the way back with nothing for pain,
then I broke 3 ribs at Cyprus Gardens. But Id have to say, while
competing for my 2nd World Title in 2002 on the ramp jump at
the World Finals in Lake Havasu City, AZ, I sailed 92.5 ft through
the air before coming to a rough landing where I exploded my L2
vertebre in my back. I was fown to Vegas where I went through 8
days in the hospital and an extensive surgery to install a titanium
cage, but that would not hold me down. 7 months later I was back
on the coarse again at the start on the National Tour in Parker, AZ.
WETRACER:
Who has been your biggest supporter in the watercraft industry?
KEVIN:
My biggest supporter in the watercraft industry would have to be
the racers themselves. When I need help they are always there to
help.
WETRACER: What do you do to make a living in this current
ecnomy and keep racing a part of your lifestyle?
KEVIN:
I have my own business Greens WaterCraft repairing jet skis
and when thats slow Im helping my dad repair appliances at
Greens Appliance
WETRACER:
Where do you see yourself in the industry in the upcoming years?
KEVIN:
If things dont get better in the economy I cant see myself racing
too many more years but I hope to. The sponsors just arent out
there anymore in our sport like Id like to see them. I just hope to
one day to be put into the Jet Ski Hall of Fame now and pass on
my story to inspire young kids and adults too that you cant give
up on your dreams, anythings possible if you set your mind to it.
Wetracer Magazine 10
At midnight on Sunday, November 28
th
Jettribes Team USA came
together at the Bangkok International Airport for one more race of the
2010 season, and this race was bigger than anything the racers had seen
before! We all piled in a large van that took us to a hotel about an hour
away from the airport where we spent the first few nights of our trip. After
getting a few hours of sleep the team gathered for breakfast on Monday
morning and then headed over to the warehouse of Sam Chaisirivichiean,
our Jettribe distributor in Thailand. We couldnt have been more grateful
to have Sams warehouse at our disposal. While some of our group
worked on the boats to make sure that everything was running perfectly,
the rest of us worked on sorting through the Jettribe
merchandise so that it would be ready to be sold at the
races that were just a few days away. Sam was even
gracious enough to let us use his own private lake so that
we could do some test riding with the runabouts!
While in Bangkok, when we werent in Sams warehouse
working on boats and organizing merchandise, we were
out doing site seeing at the Grand Temple Palace and
eating authentic Thai food, which we couldnt get enough
of! But after a few days in Bangkok it was time to head to
the city of Phitsanulok where the race site was located.
On Wednesday we ran into our first major headache of the
trip. We were scheduled to make the 5 hour trip to
Phitsanulok, but unfortunately the taxi van that was
supposed to take our group (11 of us total) had no trunk
space so we had to be separated from our luggage for
about a day until we could pick it up at the race site when
it finally arrived. During our 5 hour trip we had to make a
stop to fuel up the van and this was also the first time that
we had ever had to use a public bathroom; the girls
werent very happy about the holes in the ground that
were known as toilets. We also experienced Thailands
version of KFC on our next stop of the trip; surprisingly it
was very different from Americas KFC. After arriving in
Phitsanulok we made our way over to the race site to scope things out and we liked what we saw: our
own pit area, huge grand stands, and Thailands own version of
Vendor Alley! What more could we have asked for?!
Thursday was a day of practicing for the racers so that the riders
could get acclimated to the race course and unfortunately we
experienced our second headache of the trip when one of the
runabouts motors blew; good thing one of Sams sisters was able to
bring one from the warehouse so that Louis could begin working on
the motor later that night. After a few hours of practice we headed
back to our hotel to get cleaned up for the opening ceremony. The
ceremony was absolutely amazing and we were so impressed with
how much work the promoters put into making it an memorable
experience for all of the race teams. Our team was even able to meet
some of the dignitaries that were at the ceremony.
Friday marked the first day of fiberglass warfare and our team of
racers couldnt be happier to experience the moment that they had all
been waiting for: The chance to race on international waters for the
first time and to be a part of one of the most prestigious races in the
world! Derek, Christine, and Chelsea raced hard and put up a
fight against the other international riders in their racing
classes. Saturday and Sunday they, as well as Jeremy,
continued to put up a fight during their remaining races. By the
end of the race days our team was exhausted but they were
glowing with excitement at the fact that they were racing in a
foreign country with some of the best racers in the world!
Although our team doesnt always win their races, there
couldnt have been a better team to represent the United States
of America in such a positive light.
On Sunday night after the races were over we had to pack
up our equipment and get back to the hotel as fast as we
could because the roads were going to be closed down for
the arrival of the princess. When we finally got back to the
hotel we barely had enough time to even change into a
clean pair of clothes before we had to rush over to the
neighboring building where the closing awards ceremony
was to be held. Like the opening ceremony, they really
hauled out the red carpet for this occasionliterally! After
guards waved their security wands over each of us we were
ushered into the beautiful room where we excitedly waited
for the princess to arrive to present the Kings Cup awards
to the racers who had won the Pro classes. Before the awards ceremony started Tony pulled a few
strings and when the princess was done presenting the
Kings Cup awards our team was quickly escorted
outside where we waited alongside the red carpet near
the princesss car. While we waited for the princess to
come out of the building there were photographers and
camera crews with their cameras trained on us! When
the princess came out we were able to personally
present her with one of our teams pit shirts and we
were even able to talk to her for a minute before she
left. We were the only team that was able to personally
meet the princess and it was such a high honor for us to
be presented with the opportunity!
Despite the fact that we ran into a few problems throughout the week (flat tires, blown motors, and
broken steering cables) the trip was still amazing. We also made a ton of new friends and we were so
impressed by how friendly and helpful everyone was. Thailand is definitely the Land of Smiles! We
cant wait for next years race and well be back bigger and better than ever before!
The next stop we made was a trip to Vietnam for a week to show the team our overseas warehouse!

WETRACER:
How and when did you frst get interested in Jetskis?
LARRY:
1975 I was working as a motorcycle mechanic at a
Kawasaki dealership when Doug Silverstein and the Jet Ski
test team came through town. A year later I bought one of
the frst ones we got into the dealership.
WETRACER:
What was your frst ski?
LARRY:
1976 JS400. I think I paid $1,100 for it.
WETRACER:
When was your frst race?
LARRY:
It was a club event in northern California sometime in the
late 70s. This was when you could race on your knees. I
got a good start and worked my way backwards toward the
rear of the pack. Even though I got smoked, I was hooked.
WETRACER:
What is your most memorable race?
LARRY:
My frst major win. It was the 1981 Hawaiian Invitational
Championship held in the big surf on the north shore of
Oahu. It was wild. As much as it was a race, it was also a
battle to survive. Big waves wiped us all out at one time or
another. I came from behind and took the lead on the last
lap to win it.
WETRACER:
How many World Titles have you won? Racing and
Freestyle?
LARRY:
2 in Racing & 2 in Freestyle.
WETRACER:
Do you miss racing?
LARRY:
Yeah, those are some of my best memories. I lived my
dream, traveling around the world making a living racing.
WETRACER:
Tell us a bit about your career with being a stunt man. How
you got into doing that?
LARRY:
In 1994 I was contacted by R.A. Rondell, the stunt
coordinator for the movie Waterworld. We shot the
movie off the big island of Hawaii and I was there for 7
months getting paid in ride Jet Skis and learn how to do
other stunts. It was another dream come true for me, as
I had always wanted to break into the business. While
there I became friends with many of the top stuntmen in
Hollywood and that helped me continue advancing as a
stuntman once Waterworld ended and I moved to LA.
WETRACER:
What movies were you in?
LARRY:
Over 60 so far. Ive been fortunate enough to work in some
of the biggest movies made. Titanic, Matrix Reloaded, Fast
& Furious, Ironman1&2, etc., and of course a number of
Bruce Willis movies. Check me out on www.imdb.com for
a full list of everything Ive been in.
WETRACER:
How did you get to be Bruce Willis stunt double?
LARRY:
Bruce was looking for a new stunt double on the movie
The Whole Ten Yards. I was brought in for an audition
along with a lot of other guys that could possibly double
him. After returning for a number of callbacks, Bruce
fnally picked me and I started with him on that show.
WETRACER:
You were critically injured in the making of Live Free or
Die Hard. Tell us about what happened.
LARRY:
After a month of big stunts we were back in L.A. shooting
a fairly tame scene in which I was scrambling down a fre
escape. I have no memory of the accident but what Im
told is that I somehow slipped off the fre escape and fell
roughly 27 feet to my head. It was a long, tough, couple
years of recovery but Im thankful to be back at it.
WETRACER:
So I talked with you at World Finals about this Jetski
Racing feature flm you are making. What can you tell us
about it? Who is starring, what is the story line? When will
it be in the theaters?
LARRY:
Its called Hot Water and its really exciting! Ive been
wanting to make a movie about the world of Jet Ski
racing forever. The basic storyline follows a cocky young
hotshot jet skier that gets a dream shot on the pro tour. Its
an action/comedy and were going to shoot it during the
summer of 2011.
WETRACER:
Where do you see the future of jetskiing?
LARRY:
Im not sure, but I know my movie will help build some
momentum.
WETRACER:
What are your plans for the future?
LARRY:
With the completion of Hot Water I plan on continuing my
transition into producing and directing. I have several other
scripts in the works as well as a sequel to Hot Water if it
does as well as Im confdent it will.
The BOB Hull (Backfip On a Budget) was ThFIRST aftermarket hull PROVEN to do fat water
backfips with a Limited 701cc Motor. The BOB hull is also one of the very few aftermarket hulls

market hulls available on the market, with over 30 units all around the world in less than a year.
It has been proven in competition, with BOB hull riders taking 2nd and 4th overall in Amateur
Freeride at the Blowsion Surf Slam, 4th, 6th and 7th place in Amateur Freestyle at the World
Finals and 7th place in Pro Freestyle at the World Finals.

infused using vinyl ester resins the glass composite consisting of double

posite weighing in at 30 kg which comes with weighted sponsons to take
the weight back up to 40 kg for your big surf days the light weight set of
sponsons for small surf and some fat water, all of the hulls are weighed
fully assembled with footwells ftted hood on and the sponsons ftted. Other
features are a 3 inch wider tray than a super jet nozzle set 2 inches further out
the back 2 inch larger engine bay. Water outlets both come out the exhaust
side of the engine bay frewall, the pole is set 4 inches further forward than a
stock SJ and the engine is set in the centre of your footwells and pole bracket
to give you a more balanced ride and enabling you to do 360 fat spins. More
rocker in the nose of the ski to prevent nose diving while surf riding, more
introduction in the intake area as well as being wider and taking a custom
intake grate to give you the best hook up in the surf as well as custom front
sponsons for ultimate handling when surf riding that tapers in to the tail and

MATRIX Pro (Carbon/Kevlar Epoxy Resin Hull) $8499.99 weight: 80 lbs
Our MATRIX Pro hull construction process comes from our extensive knowledge in aero-
space technology. We start with an epoxy primer providing a light and fracture resistant sur-
face. Next we precisely laminate our hull. A combination of carbon fber and Kevlar fabrics
are placed in molds engineered exactly to specifcations. Composite fabrics are infused with
aerospace grade high temperature epoxy resin. This resin provides a higher tensile strength
than any other available today. The fnal step in lamination is to vacuum bag our components.
This provides laminate consolidation resulting in a lighter and stronger product. Once the
components are fully cured they are removed from the mold and inspected. The components
are then glued together with the best methacrylate structural adhesive and secured with quality
hardware. Using this controlled process we are able to ensure that every MATRIX hull is of
the same caliber as the next.
MATRIX
SUPERFREAK
The ROK hull is 80L x 29W x 21H and is available in two versions. The frst is fberglass
lay up, which consists of a hand laid combination of CSM, biaxial stitched fabric, and woven
cloth. High quality vinylester resin is used, with tooling gel coat for the surface fnish. The
weight of the fberglass hull is 85 pounds. The second is a carbon fber lay up, which consists
of only the highest quality IM7 carbon fabric, along with both vinylester and epoxy resin op-
tions, in a VARTM process. This results in very high strength and low weight, 55 pound hull.
All the thread inserts are stainless steel. The hulls are foamed with high quality expanding
polyurethane 2 pound density foam that is used by the US Coast Guard on the cutter boats, and
will not absorb water, even over a long period of direct exposure. Every hull comes complete
with all hardware. Fiberglass pricing is $3995.00, and carbon fber $5495.
