Okay, I just talked to Hans on the phone and he says he has not even considered making his boats out of rotomolded plastic. The initial tooling is VERY expensive and with the current rotomolding technology the boats would be way too heavy. He says the only to get the boats to 260-270 pounds is by doing hand-laid-up fiberglass.

He doesn't know how the rotomold rumor got started, but y'all can put it to rest.

And, by the way, he says he is going to race his new 5.0 in the Liberty Race off Dunedin Causeway this weekend. He doesn't have a Portsmouth number yet for the boat, but he is going to do it for fun with or without a number.
