I know! I too like black too bad black is such a terrible color for FL, I'd have a black boat in a second.

I thought the same thing. Black is beautiful - but not practical.

Is that a hull for a boat or the plug? It looks awfully assembled coming out of that mold. Plugs are usually black so the gelcoat thickness is easily visible when being applied to start making the mold.

Yep, you're both right. It's a plug.

Beautiful. Love the new look. Congrats to the folks putting this together. We need a US F18 in the mix.
