    If Batman liked fishing instead of fighting we might have seen one of these with flames coming out the back..

    Go to www.fiberglassics.com This site is devoted to old fiberglass boats. There are people on that site that are boats of that vintage and should be able to help you.

    Here is another thought......Imagine it painted a muted Green/Grey wash, similar to opaque animation cell medium green...Then just picture George Jetson flyin away......
    That is one cool ride, and if it were anywhere near Washington State, I would snap it up myself. Too bad it ain't, otherwise, it would be gone in a "Jetson's Swish"
