It looks good. I am glad you are progressing on the boat. I remember how i was scratching my head with the kit problems at the start but it's working now.

Thanks guys. The garage needs help. My wife and kids continue to dump clutter in there. I can't wait to just dump most of the stuff but I need to work on the boat and not on decluttering the garage. I do miss those chickens though..... :D

Just make a album here, you can almost be certain that it keeps working

Was wondering if this build still had a life! Go Derek!

Congratulations on the flip!


Nice looking strong back, the rails are set up well. Almost looks like the thing was built by a cnc robot. :lol:

Great news. The boat looks good.
I remember the problems with your kit: we got some Okume sheets that were not square. We don't cut parts that way anymore but we were scratching our head for a while.
It is going to go fast now. :D
