As an aside, I noticed the tach at 4200 rpm in the shot (can't quite read the GPS numbers). This means we're doing around 32 mph in a 1' chop. That's my 220lb son up front sitting the casting deck. Notice any spray? Me neither :D http://gallery.bateau2.com/albums/userpics/11134/normal_chuck1%7E0.JP...

Just About to Get It "Wet"
Lucky, I'm happy for you and wish that everything goes well on "Launch Day!!". I can't wait until my turn comes. As WobblyLegs said, "That is a damn fine looking boat... I like the bright trim, adds class!". Ditto for me also. What can I say, it's what I'm looking forward to for ...

Quick update... All the woodwork in the anchor locker is finished. Dimitris - I've thought about your suggestion about keeping it sealed, but for now I'm going to have a hatch there, and none on the deck; that may change after using the boat. Isn't that the greatest part of building your own boat -...

If anyone's interested, I can post the plans in my gallery or email. It's Billtwo back again. :D I've been out of the picture since August of 2006 and have been wo...
