It certainly looks the  'Biz'.  It would cost more than that to actually build one yourself.

Your choice

Hull looks very similar to the Ripscale Perkasa, you can pick them up for a reasonable price! I managed to get a 'damaged in transit' hull, to be honest, it was actually pretty wrecked, but simple job to rebuild and upgrade in the end.

jaymac,
This boat is called BRAVEBORDERER and is a very nice boat, I built one from scratch and it's 36" long to 3/8" scale, powered by 7- cell sub C  NimH with brushless motor,  here is the video link to you-tube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2FxmJ20mkk

Built by Vosper and and preceeds the PERKASA

Have you considered looking in the "For Sale" Section, at lease 1 complete Perkassa for sale a lot cheaper than the Graupner one.
