I have aquired a production ice flyer that was not being used and am completely going through it (but not too fast, Ive extremely over commited myself). The body is split apart and being re-inforced and floatation foam put in. It will get a new front beam and a new 9 foot down force rear beam. Ill update all the hardware to essentially what the boats would have now if they were still in production. The boat is black with all the Sarns runner and chock hardware. With a set of fast sails and stiffened mast, this boat will have a really huge wind range, fast (Ive hit in the 70 mph range with the same boat converted for land sailing - in the high 60's on ice) and I beleive one of the safest designs out there (but that is for you to decide, you must sign away all my responsibility).
It is not yet for sale but likely will be in a couple of months as my intention is to only get it back out being sailed. It is in Denver, Colorado and I will not ship.. Price will be a little under 2K without the sail rig.
Im not yet accepting offers but am posting this because some advance arrangement might need to be made since I wont ship the boat (Ive had too many bad experiences shipping..sorry).
Whall - ex manufacture of the ice flyer

I saw your post and would be interested in buying your Ice Flyer when it ready for sale. I have one already and would like a second for family/friends to use. Please let me know what price & provide pictures if possible. I would be prepared to collect it from you.
Thanks,
ALan

I sent you two emails in response to your posting in August, but haven't heard back from you, so I am concerned that they went to an invalid e-mail address. Let me know the best way to contact you.
Thanks!
Bob
