These boats are incredible. Quality of production is better than any lightweight boats out there (other than maybe Marstrom and Waterrat A's, but they don't make F16's).

The BIM is not a true single/double hander, but rather a singlehander.

When BIM revisits the F16 concept, I bet their boat winds up closer to the Taipan and Stealth.

Please e-mail me at fastcatmichael@hotmail.com and I'll fill you in on some other stuff.

Good luck - any F16 will be a blast.
