I found that pic on the net. I order the kit today from (great hobbies) for just over a hundred cnd. It is very close to my boat , with a few modifications it would not be hard to make it look like mine. Something to do until spring.

Dumas makes a kit for an F31. I don't think the one pictured here is the Dumas boat though.

If we had enough people that wanted one I've got a guy that could make the molds for a F32. Say about 32 inches long. I would pay for the molds but he would need to pop more than one to cover his time. Of course I would need to find the hull lines somewhere, which could be a problem.

Because the boat is just so darn good, it practically drives itself! :wink:
