Sashimi-panga22-Kauai

Ok so I've been lurkin around for about a year now, just kinda watching your guys' builds and procrastinating. 2 weeks ago I fianally got my plans, yesterday I ordered my ply, and today I ordered my epoxy kit. It's my first build but I feel pretty confident. Still, kind of a big step to commit and buy it all at once! The boat will be named Malolo- flying fish in hawaiian. The paint scheme will be similar to familyman's OD18, and I'll have a T-top on her. Anyway it'll take about 3 weeks for everything to get here so in the meantime (after I finish painting the house next week) I'll set up my strongback and cut a few of the stations out of MDF. I plan on keeping a pretty detailed log and will start posting pics as soon as I start on the strongback, so stay tuned

I'll be the first to welcome you to the building group, Fonda! You'll be glad you got the big purchases done now, but don't think they're the last

. You'll soon be buying tongue depressors, chip brushes, and sand paper in bulk lots!

Got to go catch some mahi!

Thanks Ross

Your HMD is a beauty. Watching you build in guam is one of the main reasons I felt I could do it here in the islands. Caught a 46 lb. Mahi 2 weeks ago

Building a panga...in Kauai. You lucky dog! It doesn't get much better than Kauai.

I also welcome you. Looks like we'll be building our boats at the same time.

Yeah kauai's pretty killer.The ono and ahi were good this year

Last year's ahi run was the best seen in 20+ years. Saw many 200+ lb. fish

Just an idea Cracker, but have you considered naming her "the terminator" instead?
