It *is* gorgeous.

But I doubt it's any more difficult to maintain than any other fiberglass tub. I'm sure it's fiberglass over wood. It looks like a strip built boat hull, albeit, an awkward boat shape. I could make one. I wonder how thick the walls are. I built my kayak from 1/4" material, glassed with 8.9 oz satin weave glass and it is BOMBPROOF. Easily strong enough to be a tub of that scale.

The finish is flawless, on the tub, not the boat. That's not my long suit. I'm sure having your bare bottom slidin around in it, you'd figure out pretty quick where the high spots were.

The tub is a thing of beauty.
