Looking great! Landon and Last of the Breed, my first Louis L’Amor read. Spent the next 20 years exhausting his library, many hours while in deer stands in crunchy hardwood bottoms.

I weigjed her this weekend.
Will give you guys till tonight to guess the weight.

Standard sheer.
Additional reverse chines and strikes and double layer of tape over all of them on the bottom.
Under sole filled with foam.
Thick rubrails, wide gunwales.
Reinforced forward deck.
Extra compartments everywhere.
Two consoles.
Remote steering engine controls and all that goes with that.
Battery under the helm console. Big cables running back to motor.
19 gal fuel tank under passengers console and fuel lines back from there with water blocker filter in motorwell.
Etc......
You know its over weight..... how much????
(I weighed with full fuel and calculated out 19gal so it will count all the fuel in the lines and filters.)
