The escorts fee is $1200

I also got weights.

BH4 was 6160
BH1 was 3410

Total is 9570. Really great, only about 300 over hopes and dreams.

The boat seems pretty heavy aft. We did not get any idea port to star weight wise.

17 miles

What does that mean? I thought you was expecting it to be heavy. Is that 300 over what you expected?

Congratulations Dan she looks great. :D Do you have much left to finish her? I saw you got her insured by All State finally? When do you plan to head down the Big Muddy? Best wishes for you!! Weight sounds great, being off by only 10lbs a ft is nothing considering her size. you can ballast her out on her lines once you get her in the water. Tom

Congrats Dan!!! Beautiful job!
Normally we would wait to see if the boat floats first before changing a builder's status on the Forum, but in this case we will roll the dice. We bestow upon you, "Expert Builder"!
Great job, can't wait to see the first run.

Congratulations on becomes an expert builder. I think you should also have a sub-title of expert fiberglass/epoxy/vacuum table lay ups guy!

Hope she has a safe trip to the point B.

Well, she's a heavy boat. She won't make her lines.

Just hoping she doesn't sink below the antifouling paint at this point.
