Good looking work! I love the effiency of the Panga. Poachers from Mexico love them in the Gulf of Mexico. They wash up on the southern Texas coast often.

Nice looking work.

You are two steps ahead of my build. I’m so close to a flip.

I’m currently building the XF-20. I’m in Corpus Christi and fish the Upper Laguna Madre to Baffin. I see a lot of tower boats. The platform of this boat matches or exceeds the boats I see.

Build on~

Port Aransas Wooden Boat Festival is this weekend. Come and visit us again!!!

There are many things I would like to pick your brain on.

Quick fair application and sanding with the long board 3 times.
