Looks good Frazoo
Are you still booked at Venture Out during the builders meet? We will be there the week after the meet, 10-17.

Re: frazoo's Honker "14"
With so much going on right now we are having to play it by ear up until May. Our daughter has a previously unexpected band trip to Orlando in a March (1K out of the budget) and with the retirement cottage build going on and maybe purchasing the Smyrna Beach area house we may have too many irons in the fire for one year. If the Smyrna thing falls through we will more than likely make it around the 10th. School lets out on the 8th (exam week for the kids), and we would arrive either the 10th or 11th. I thought about coming down by myself on the 8th and the girls would follow on the 10th, but that doubles our travel expenses and gas prices are going nuts.
The seat is a bit much on that little boat, but I bought it looking ahead to the "next build". It will look better on that one, I think.

Modified the belly bar a bit and installed the adjustable support bar from the bar to the forward deck.
I know this isn't "boatbuilding" per say, but when JM gets a sit on kayak finished, it may give someone an idea as to how to rig the thing for fishing.

Re: frazoo's Honker "14"
Richard, your offer means a great deal to me, thank you. Alas, I am building the Wabnaki . I looked at my intended use and decided that 80% of my use will be rivers so I'll give that model a try. Again, thank you, you made my day!
