    Ralph dropped by a few weeks ago and said he has a few Indefatigable hulls left - one of his best!

    I have one of these. Not for sale, but they ARE really nice. If you can get one from Ralph, I say go for it.

    At least one of the Indefatigable hulls Ralph has in stock has a 'lip' molded all the way around at deck level. I think it's about 3/4" wide.

    I used his 2-piece mold to make the above hull but he has two more pieces that bolt to the mold and allow the edges of the decks to be molded onto the hull.

    Ralph has two Indefatigable hulls in stock as of last weekend - might have a buyer for one. Those are the standard hulls; he's keepoing the one with the deck edges molded on for himself.

    I just bought one from him along with a QE hull. Just waiting for the package. Should be a nice winter project!
