I ask myself that very question each and every time I walk out into the boat shed!pee wee wrote:.........but it also makes one appreciate (or wonder at) those who take on a huge project like a TW28 type of boat in their spare time. I'm sure you take it on for the love of it, but at some point surely you wonder what you were thinking
It's easily a two or three person build but a builder with the experience, skills and level of care that Larry takes with his boats would certainly be able to do it. It's just a matter of time, persistence and Oh Yeah, Money!
Build on Dusty Cracker, we're watching!
Yours Aye! Rick

Re: A Cracker Built GF18
Reminds me of the country song " I know what I was feelin' but what was I thinkin' ?
Crappy weather again, rain and cold, supposed to be below freezing again tonight. Great
Finally broke down and ordered a new computer. Going to miss this old Dell but I reckon 11 years is a good life. I must be one of the last people in the country running Windows XP. My bank tells me they won't support it after next month for on-line banking, hearing the same from Pay-Pal, and MS is dropping all support on April 8, so I guess it's time to move on. Not looking forward to learning a new OS, or moving all of my data.

The local library system went back to using Windows XP. They claim it is a more stable platform then newer Windows OS. Good luck with your venture and build on!Cracker Larry wrote:Finally broke down and ordered a new computer. Going to miss this old Dell but I reckon 11 years is a good life.

My wife is running a 10 year old Dell as well. I've finally convinced her to order a new dell but she wants to keep her old monitor because it fits. Windows 8 is not too bad but I am a computer geek so ymmv.
Re: A Cracker Built GF18
Got a new computer at home last month, after using windows 8 I miss my XP!
8 degree's tonight, breaking another record!

Re: A Cracker Built GF18
I couldn't bring myself to go to Windows 8. Decided on 7 pro.
That's what I ordered too was another Dell. Had great service from them so far. Getting a 24" monitor with itI've finally convinced her to order a new dell but she wants to keep her old monitor because it fits.

I guess ugly for down there. We should be sprouting tulips and we're still in snow storms with double digit wind factor temperatures in the negative zone....
I am keeping my eye out for my line of work in Central Eastern Australia or U.S. Gulf area. Had enough of using snow shovels....
Build on !

Re: A Cracker Built GF18
You can't go wrong with Win7. I'm not a fan of Win8. It's too far on the tablet end of the spectrum. My boss is running it on a Surface tablet, and he loves it, but I can't use a 10" tablet as a primary computer.Cracker Larry wrote:I couldn't bring myself to go to Windows 8. Decided on 7 pro.
I think Win7 is very similar to XP. It will be an easy transition.
