Thanks Joel! That really means a lot.

Wow, it’s been along time. Ha Ha, I remember thinking that this little project was
Going to be done in 6 months. All jokes a side I probably have a year in it for those who care to know, but had to take a lot of long breaks throughout the build. Who knew that my first child and a move would take so much time.

I want to thank all of the helpful folks on this forum and the great the folks at e-boat. Customer service there is par to none really. Thanks, and thank you to Jaque for creating such a pretty boat.

Here she is… “Little Lady”

And some shots of the finished interior. I ended up going with the same paint for the non-skid because I couldn’t settle on grey or cream Kiwi. I’m real happy with the finish. Taping up the non-skid areas took longer than cutting all the wood for the boat though. :D The finished product was well worth it though.

No need to over due the picture upload. :lol:

Haven’t had an official launch yet, but I’ll post those pictures as soon as I do.

She is a lovely lady that's for sure :D Is that a 25" extra long shaft outboard? It looks nice and long, you won't have to worry about swamping it over the transom that's for sure :wink:

Cracker we are doing well... Bought 6 acres on a mountain in TN... Have my own mini-lake about 1.5 acers... guess I should update my build... It has been a big transition but we love our new place! we are in GA right now.. you going out next week :D . Sorry for the Thread jack Murry but I want to bury the pictures of that boat behind pages of senselessness! I will never look at my boat again without thinking how I could make it look like yours!

At least you're back on the right side of the Mississippi! I can go fishing anytime you want to, Bob :D If you are close, the cobia and redfish are biting good. I'd be happy to see you again and we can sure go fishing 8) Dang, I'd hate to miss an opportunity to spend another day sanding on this Sea Ox, but I can sure walk away from it to go fishing right now! Let me know, I'm good any day next week.

I just noticed that you have 14 rod holders if I'm counting right. 12 of the plastic and 2 of the Stainless flush mount ones 8O

I like that as it means she's not just another pretty face, she was built to fish as well 8)
