Hello. I'm new to Cboats but a lifelong firend to boating. I'd like more information about the Stinkeye but outside of this forum, I've found nothing. Will it be a new Millbrook model? Are there some pics? Is the boat in the video a stripper or composite? Inquiring minds want to know!

Thanks,
JC

Kaz, what do you think a heavier layup will weigh when you get to it.

Hi. Sorry to say I'm still working on the plug. I need to spray it one more time. I hope to do that as soon as it's a dry and sunny morning.
I can't guess on the weight yet. 20lbs maybe?
It will be in the Millbrook Boats line-up with credit to the designer, Michael Bolton.

Thanks Mikey. I really like the designs Kaz has but want a glass boat with more primary stability that the 29 inch width can provide. My neck and back look forward to a modern design shorter glass boat for the non racer. :D

Wendy, you need to try one after he starts making them...I'll think you'll be pleasantly surprised by the initial stability along with the secondary. It feels more stable the the L'Edge if that'seven possible :D ...but feels very similar to the light L'Edge actually. I think you could put in a bit wider thwarts and push it out a bit without affecting overall performance too much as well.

I have seen pics of the Sacho, but not in person. I had hoped Ed POwers might have brought his to ALF. I have waited on your design to buy my first glass boat.

Update:
Nothing new. Heavy rains and high humidity = no spraying of the plug this week.
Next week it's Wausau, week after is L.Y.

Fingers crossed Marcus. The new boat should be done (I hope) finish glassing this week...so we'll see. I haven't sent in any paperwork as of yet. Don't know how much more it'll cost me to be last minute :) or if I can just settle up when I get there at this point. Probably should check into that? :-?
Hope to see you guys there
