Perhaps they added a layer of Poli-Glow to attain that level ?

The 10.8 and 11 meter boats are outstanding vessels.

It definately has a solid glass hull. Being a 91, it probably has powder coated railings and hardware, which for me did not weather well. I'm in the process of re-powdercoating everything an aluminum color. Ignition will be HE. Should be a good boat for those rough days on Lake Erie.

24,000 displacement is a lot of work for gas engines.....

I can speak from someone running a ~22,000 lbs. boat, it will struggle and suck some fuel. Hold out for a diesel, or find a fixer upper and put some diesels in it.
