That's cool!! I'm sure renting a couple of cranes like that is not too cheap.

What kind of masochist wants a wooden boat? It must have cost a fortune.

Default One who has so much money that getting to the fishing grounds an hour before everyone else in a

high stakes tournament is work the 7 figure premium over a heavier glass hull.

These are for the most elite tournament fishing in central american/mexico etc. They build 'em light and then put several thousand turbodiesel horsepower in them to run over 40 knots.

That's like taking you living room, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom and driving it 40 mph in rough seas. Insane.
