Seems like it would be very difficult to transport it from its build location.

I would never consider going out in the open ocean it one of these boats built this way the outer skin may be 1/8" , I didn't really see if its plywood core or foam core.
The ocean could-Would devistate one of the foam core type like you see on the websites built with a wood female form and foam strips,,,, but the debri field would be floating for a 1/4 mile long.

Lots of foam core Tri's out on the ocean I think.

Foam core is fine.

Lots of homemade cats running around down the islands, most of them are not very good.

While its impressive he built it, it looks like a perfect candidate to grow a reef on its bottom in some anchorage until a hurricane washes it up on the beach.
