Great job Elie.

It feels great to reach that milestone... and then you see the empty inside of the hull and think of how much is left!

After the inside glassing, things start to be smaller and more manageable steps. Just a lot of them.

Keep at it when you get settled up North.

Thanks guys.

Bob: For me, that empty hull is motivating. I get to really get an idea of what the boat will be like to fish. I get to start customizing the thing to my needs. Most importantly, I get to not sand for a little while. Cripes, I hate sanding. I haven't been this excited since I started stitching.

Spokaloo: Sorry, but the Duke rides with me. Quirky bike, but great for around town. I don't ride often enough to justify spending more money, but one day I'll own my dream bike from undergrad, a Ducati 748S. I've got a few boats to build before then though. :lol:

I got the bikes first, then the boats:

And yes, a 748 is a beautiful thing...

Gotta admit, I'm envious. That's the one I'm looking for right there. One day, man. One day.

Scott, is that an NC-30? Chassis and fairing look right, but the tail's wrong. The wife wants one to keep me and my viffer company on ride-outs.

Super-Spook, sorry 'bout the little hi-jack there. Love those round chines - that boat looks like it should move effortlessly!

Regards,

Tim.
