    I am taking this picture into the bathroom to rub one out myself.
    Your boat is completely off the shelf sir.
    Well, I finally got time to glass the deck. I still need to sand and rub it out though.
    Here's some pics:

    Looking better every day. I see you have the HallCraft installed. I can't wait to meet up and take a ride in the woody.
    Take care

    John,
    Your boat is so beautiful. I just can't believe that a person can start with a pile of basically 2x4's and plywood and end up with a boat that is prettier than any picture in a museum. You're amazing!!
    Thanks much for posting this thread. I owned a 1970 Miller 19,6 for more than a decade. It was such a good boat. Your color layout, the tach mount and the v-drive are identical to mine. It is so retro, yet timeless. I was just viewing the nose on shot and admiring the lines, when my wife walked by and said, "Hey, it looks like the old Miller"--- off of just the nose picture where you could only see the front half of the boat. (I have a pretty cool wife). It's amazing how distinct it is.
    Thanks again and I hope the boat brings you as much happiness as I imagine it would me.
