Great video. Might consider Sportsman 242 over a Seapro 239. SBO Community is outstanding!

I would like to know what CAM software you use in conjunction with Rhino. I work with composites in architectural company but as a sailor and windsurfer, at some point would like to switch into boat design.

How did the family with small kids (at 1:06) come ashore dry? Did they fly?

Are these boats foam filled for flotation purposes?
