Taylor.... Nice job on that skiff. You look to be on the starboard of her and she doesn't look to be at all tippy.
My FL14 is still strapped to pallets and in boxes. I'll not be able to get to her until next spring unfortunately. I'm turning GREEN.

She looks real nice on the water. Now who was it that is in charge of the Bateau Photo Calendar?

Taylor:

Great job on your boat!
HokieBoatbuilder wrote:I picked up my 1969 4 hp Johnson motor. I need advice on mounting it. I don't want to scratch the transom, so I would like to put some type of padding between the boat and motor. Any suggestions? I don't like what I've tried so far. I'd like dense rubber that I could cut to fit but I don't know where to find it.
If you're still looking for rubber to cushion your outboard motor mount, consider this exercise equipment mat that I bought to cut and lay on the floor of my V12 (at least for temporary use on occasion, i.e. sound deadening while fishing; or protection from dirt and abrasion when on an "expedition"). It's actually quite dense:

I enjoy seeing you in your boat in action. It's what those of us still building are looking forward to. Keep those pictures coming.

Once again, great job! Congratulations!

Rich
When can we go fishing?
