Wow, what a wonderful day, got my boat flipped over and ready to start building again. After literally weeks of sanding (this is a huge boat) and fairing and sanding and priming and sanding, I have a really nice finish that is made it scratch free through the flipping process. It really only took 14-15 folks to turn it right over onto 6 tires and then sit it in the cradle. Uploaded some new pics, had some of sanding, priming and such, but they were about as exciting as they sound. So just a couple of happy poses with the upright boat. As a side note (in retrospect) a little bit of a droopy bow, explains why I had such a tough time with the rubrails. I actually kinda like the touch it adds to the lines.

That is a nice big boat. I would like the OP21 to be my next boat and I love seeing pics of your build.

Great work and congrats on getting to this point.

Why I need a bigger boat. Don't want to chase offshore big game in a 16 footer with my one year old son.

looking great. Man that is a big boat. I'm building a phantom 18 and I thought that was a large boat. Mine could fit inside yours with plenty of room to spare.

Keep up the good work.

Steve
