You know, there must be some truth to the statment that the Down Under Ferro boats were built different than the ones up here in North America.

-All- of the Ferro boats I've seen up here have ranged from "Looks homebuilt, but -maybe- ok" to complete hulks. Most of these were complete hulks and none of them have I seen leave the dock more than once. Most never.

I remember the hippies building these things in the 70s. Big 'ol hulls lined up on the beach in Half Moon Bay with hippies n' thier kids living in them while they tried to finish them up.

It was the new generation, they were going to do great things and change the world. What happend? Why don't the kids now-a-days do anything at all? Maybe all the drugs wern't such a bad thing? Heck, I notice since everyone got fat, they now dance sitting down.

I think there's still one of those ferro hulls still sitting out there today, poor lonley old thing..
