Is this the same one that was for sale (or spotted) recently on IOW?

As this one is called 'Wizzard'....I wonder if it is the original prototype?

I like these.....but struggle like the Toy with the simple question 'Why?'

Reckon an IC would be a much better fun boat to have, but then of course I guess I am biased.

Looking at the pics it's as if someone has taken a Toy moulding as a starting point and given it a pointy bow and deeper v front section.....the mouldings look very similar aft......interesting,.... and it probably wouldn't slam like a Toy. Shame it isn't complete.... I wonder what the rig's been used for?

Hi Sami

I agree with comment re design..

despite the pointy bow, it still would be very tricky in a sea way!
