I think I'm finally done. I had a guy make me some snap on covers for my frame cutouts. They look ok at best. My wife says I'm too picky... But damn, when you pay someone to do something you expect at least better quality than you could do yourself. :roll: They are almost a perfect color match though 8)

Had her out again today in the ICW and to the inlet. It was pretty windy and kinda rough for this little gem, has me jonesing for the bigger boat already :help: She is an awesome skinny water river and creek boat for sure though. 8)

Hey Noles,
Are you still planning on a trip to Alaska this summer?

Yes we are and really looking forward to it. :D

On a boat note, I had used a supposed UV resistant epoxy on my carbon pieces......not so much on the UV. :x It had started turn gray so I painted it all black. Once I painted it, the grab bar and tiller extension got pretty damn hot, funny how that works :doh: Anyway, I googled rope wrapping and learned how to do spiral hitching/coxcombing and wrapped the tiller extension and grab bar in OD 550 cord.
Maybe now I'm done....who knows.... :wink:
I did order some plans last week though.... :help:

I really like that 8) I need to do it on my steering wheel, for when my hands are wet and salty and fishy. You sure have done a fine job on that boat!

Thanks guys. Its pretty easy, time consuming though. I used about 200' to do those two things and 2 sets of cooler handles. I also made an extended kill lanyard out of it. The grab bar alone took 99 1/2 feet. :D

Hi,
Looks beautiful and makes a lot of sense on a black bar.
Now that you are finished you mentioned you ordered plans.
Let us nosy guys know what we can expect as your next boat build.
I am looking forward to follow it.

Very fine job on the fancy rope work. Very fine.
How do you hide the end?

Tony, you can see the end in pic 2. I need to melt it in a little more. It was windy today and I was having trouble getting the lighter started.
