The hull is good. Mine was purchased when Metcalf Mouldings was selling it, as it was infact theres before they sold most of there moulds on.

It does have a spray rail and tunnels, the tunnels are completed when you fix the skegs on ,the deck you fix on as with most hulls a little work to do, I don't know if they do the cabins as I say mine was purchased a while ago.
