    Saw this carbon based craft at a boat ramp, but no carbon based life forms were around to answer questions. The entire hull and superstructure appears to be laid-up in carbon fiber with glass panels making up the house. The whole thing is reminiscent of something from Wally, sporting an F-117 faceted design. Both the truck and trailer had Montana plates. With FLIBS starting on Wednesday, I thought maybe the boat was here to display at the show, but I think that window has closed.

    Wisdom welcome!

    You are definitely right about them taking inspiration from Wally.

    Carbon Fiber or flat black engine paint.
    I admired Wally for a break in design, but not a continued or copied style.
    There is only so many green eggs we want to see on our plates,,, or the water.

    Someone found some surplus truck bedliner.

    The worst thing about it is... that finish will last a long time.
