A humbling experience.   But it sure does turn well... and it came in at only
38# in standard fiberglass construction and yellow color (which I've been told
is a heavier color in that more resin has to be used to get complete
coverage...)

My TwoGood Offshore feels like an aircraft carrier by comparison.

Anybody ever tried replacing the seat in one of these things?   This one is too
small for me.   It's edges just go straight down instead of being sloped
outwards a little as they go up.    I've  got a sore spot on each thigh bone to
prove it.

Maybe if/when my balance improves, I can put a half inch of padding in the
bottom - which might raise me up far enough so the bones don't hit the
edge....but for now, it looks like some surgery is in order.

I'm guessing the Findeisen just licenses the outer hull shape and the seat
shape/height is peculiar to each builder..
