There are a number of alternatives when buying a Fireball. Second Hand Boats are available at a wide range of prices.

Fireballs can also be amateur built in timber. With plywood prices being quite reasonable this is an excellent way to get a new boat at a good price.

Professional Builders also can provide hulls in various stages of production. Glass shells ready for timber decking can be bought, or if you desire an all fibreglass hull, then this is also available.

There is a very good check list for buying White Boats in the "best of" section of the UK forum.
