Unfortunately, no. The hull is toast. As big as it is, it is no match for a 225 lb person falling on it. I need to find something the same size to use the motors and control system, or else, sell it all.

Yours is coming along very well and should be fun to use when it is done.

Cheers

Tom

Mods? it is not the (prettiest) as I'm not skilled at details but up to now
I love it so who cares? I hope it will tow well? its a bit full of gear?
