G'day Eric, sorry I forgot to reply. The boat is looking awesome, I thought for sure you were going to tell me the kiwigrip was the cream, thats why I asked as I am considering it for myself, but I can see in the last photo you took it shows grey, the flash tricked me.

Finally dropped the boat in the water this weekend. I still have some work to do to finish up the teak, and mount the push pole holders, but other than that she's pretty much finished. Thanks again to everyone here for the great information!!

Wiring's a pain...or was it installing the trolling motor. Either way, not fun.
