Maybe I'm wrong here in pointing this out, but wasn't this whole project started on the assumption that you
weren't going to race this boat?
Dan, Thanks for the info. I have no interest in racing and clam shell spin boats are too delicate for extensive beach use. My Fox is proof of that. If I had any intention of racing I would have kept the Fox, great boat but too fragile for my uses. I have all the blocks and cams and sheet lines, I need a snuffer set-up and a chute. Super sails can make a chute for approx. $500, an aqua cat mast might work for a pole, $75 and the skunk head or mid-pole snuffer is the most pricey part. Any other ideas or used equipment?
Now I'm all for seeing you on the line dude, but as a potential competitor against you in the open fleet in the area, I have to raise question about the possibility of even getting close to a reasonable number for this boat.
If you wanted a reliable, durable, rateable, class-legal boat, plenty of options were given to you in that previous thread. Just because your fox went sour doesn't mean all "clamshell" boats are fragile.
