Thanks for all the compliments, I really do appreciate it!!!
Churchmouse (chris) and lefty: Yes I have been planning on taking the boat to the Bass lake gettogether next summer and stay for 4 days, drive the boat around and have a great time. I'll see you guys there!
I'm keeping this boat for a long time, it's not for sale.
flatties forever: Building it has brought me a lot of happiness too! But I can't wait till I get it in the water where it belongs and drive it, that's going to be the most fun!!
Thanks again everyone!
