Spanish Fly:Pyrahna or Esquif?

Post by Einar »

Got a phone call asking if I want 1rst dibs on a Pyrahna Spanish Fly in good cond.
Any big differences between the original and the Esquif production?

Thanks
Paddling is easy, organizing shuttles is hard.
Not misplacing all your crap in somebody else's car seems to be even harder

I don't belive there is,definately no hull differences.the only boat they bought and modified is the Prelude.

I believe esquif version is a lighter lay up and not as durable

Not to hijack the thread, but what did Esquif change about the Prelude?

Yes. Pyranha has sweet colors. Esquif is yellow.
