Not mine. Ad says it is fiberglass. Doesn't look like glass. Probe? Viper?

Proably royalex, probably a viper, but they don't show the ends. I did run into a fiberglass Mohawk down here one time - it was all white, tied on with a single belly rope (2 end lines) to the top of a truck without racks. I stopped to check it out - it was white and the guy who had it said it was a prototype (looked like a viper) and that he was "learning to paddle it". It was *not* kevlar, but the heavy woven glass like their lake canoes are (were?) made from. Never saw him again, which is odd given the size of the whitewater canoeing community around here...
