Outrageous Ship!!!   "The Dragon Lady" is a 39 ft long vessel made by joining together two 18 ft Starcraft hulls back to back.  The two hulls are mounted on a 1 ft high by 30 ft long I beam.  There are two 40 hp Evinrude outboard motors mounted amidships on the forward hull.  The motors are fixed and do not steer.  Steering is by changing motor speeds and a rudder in the rear.  Under the floor is completely filled with foam for emergency flotation.  The sail has a design based on what is called a 'Viking Compass'.  The hulls have been painted with a rocker grainer to give a wood grain appearance.  The dragon head's eyes light up and there are tubes to set up a system to have smoke come out of the nostrils.  The dragon head is made of gorilla glue and sawdust mixed with oil based paint on a wooden base.  I also have a dragon head hood ornament that shows no wear from rain and snow at 70mph.  This ship will blow minds anywhere she is in the water: boat parades, water festivals, party boat etc.  She is a long, narrow, open vessel which immediately gives you the feeling of being in a Viking Ship 1000 years ago.  ALSO she has an incredible advertising value.  If you have any kind of business this boat will attract attention and leave a lasting impression on people.  I have a video clip of the ship on the trailer (which is included in the sale).   https://youtu.be/JXTcjdSjpQ0   I am happy to answer any questions you may have.  I have not yet gotten her in the water as I finished the hull painting too late in the fall.  Both hulls are completely intact so flotation is not an issue.  I have a NYS boat registration.  I am a mechanical engineer and a machinist so I feel I have done an excellent job of building this ship.  Sold as is where is.
