Thanks! That'd be me, Elaine's craft is cooking and fly-tying. I'm a terrible tailor, but that's all that's required for this stuff.
There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
Storage and organization has been a big theme.i added some homemade rod holders to the console, swapped legs for a box to support the guest seat, dedicated pfd storage, binocular holders, and added a humongous forward control for the new motor I don't have yet.

More storage/organization. This is an old photo, it's not c-clamped on anymore.

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
Last one for now, scours honor!
Poling platform top and mounted. I'm using stays for racking resistance to keep the weight to an absolute minimum. Seems to support me fine. It is very light and cost was negligible. Took some time to do the bent-lam trim but that's interesting, fun work.

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
Jeff, I commend your perseverance, completing the upgrades before your trip. Both of you will enjoy the time on the water that much more, and probably return to VT with a fresh list of necessary upgrades!

Can't wait to see it in a couple weeks!
