    I'm looking for any cheap fiberglass hull under around 75 dollars.

    Strike, BC, the only ones that don't exceed my budget are destroyers, which I don't want.

    I've seen the Duca's hull in person. It's not fiberglass, but still a nicely done hull with no flaws as far as I can tell. I haven't had the experience cutting one yet but I'm sure ship crazy and others can chime in. The Duca hull at Strike is $20, so it's definitely worth a look if it's still available.

    I really hate the look of the Duca. Are there anything else? Used hulls, again, are fine. They just have to be glass and under 75

    Are you looking to avoid making and installing decks then too?

    I have a pre-cut Baden hull I would sell for that plus shipping.
