![Impact Resistant Polycarbonate Hull](https://www.horizonhobby.com/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-horizon-master/default/PDPImages/PRB08043_PP_6.jpg)
Impact Resistant Polycarbonate Hull
Two piece shoe box construction for extreme hull durability. Moulded composite material is much more impact resistant than fibreglass.

Polycarbonate Canopy
Durable polycarbonate provides a watertight seal and the thumb screws mean no tape is necessary to retain the canopy on to the hull.

Clean Moulded Composite Interior
This adds rigidity and strength to the hull. The interior is wood-free to avoid rot and decay. The grease cup prevents grease from spreading inside.
