Dan,
It sounds like you did not decide to buy the Italian boat. I see that Corin believes that the rules will change so that all new 125cc and 175cc UIM hydros will be required to have reinforced cockpits by 2008 or late 2007. I believe most of the UIM OSY hydros that have also been run as F125's must already have the reinforcement panels installed. I am still interested in a Euro-built OSY/C-mod boat, but I do not have the extra money to purchase one right now. Thanks for the shipping cost feedback. I assume that cost excluded the S&H fees of a box container, preparing the boat, and packing materials. BTW - 65 pounds must be the weight of the composite shell only, without any running hardware on the hull. UIM has a minimum (equipped) hull weight for OSY hydros that is heavier than our lightest OSY boats, since we have no OSY weight restrictions in the APBA or USTS. Is this attached picture like the type of hull you were thinking about buying?
