Building a Composite cab

[SurfBoat]

Check out this stand up cab on this Hobie Power Skiff, http://www.contactscale.com/Examples_Page.html
This was built using an EPS core 4oz e-glass, vacuumed bagged corematt and 4oz e-glass covering. This sight does real high end work.

Looks like the guy bought too small a boat - had to add an extension for the motor, and that cab looks like it was designed for whe nthe boat grows up
:-)

Does the boat still exist or did it turn turtle in the first stiff breeze?

The cab only weighs about 75lbs. I take this skiff inter island in 4o knots of wind fishing for tuna all the time, Maui to Molokai.
There are a lot of advantages to having a small boat. I can take both the cab and motor extension off and load them into a shipping container. I dont need a truck to tow it and I can fish all day on two 5gallon tanks.

Plus the cab keeps the sun from burning the hell out of you here in Hawaii.
