DIY CATAPULT HULLS!
Germany-based
Catapult owner Volker Lehleitner, faced with the challenges of getting
new hulls, went ahead and made his own. He was able to get a job lot of
Hypalon, and built the hulls to a high standard, as the photos
here
show. Volker's son has made this
video
of the boat successfully cruising in Bonn.
