The workmanship seems terrific; the choice of project was less than ideal. It is both a shame, as far as I am concerned, and the owner's right to do it. If this was a forum of Ford Model A enthusiasts, we'd cringe each time we saw a Model A being used as a beat-up yard truck in a saw mill, farm, what have you. At least the hull is looking good, doing what it was designed to do and doing it well. That's nice to see.

I agree with all, it seems a shame. Kind of like loosing a friend we never got to know, if that makes any sense.
