Looks like a real nice rig. I like the look of the twin skin, what have you got in the way of positive float? More pics if you can.

Good idea, has it been done before? if not why not? considering glass boats at least overseas have had liners almost forever. Structural?

cheers fnq

the one drawback of that system is the lack of "under toe" area at floor level, when you want to lean out or fight a fish with your knees/thighs against the topsides, you are sort of off balance becase your feet are further in than your body, fished out of a centre console just like that and hated it, but the boat and concept is good, don't get me wrong, it was just something that I did not like, the owner did not seem to mind it at all (I guess it is something you get used to)
