Wow is right! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I won't even ask how much $$$ you have invested in the project! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Mark's project is a Labor of Love. It's like asking how much you spent on your family in the last 10 years - nobody even wants to THINK about that kinda money.

Mark - Good for you, man! Only you're not done. You've got some fun having to do...

Mark - I really like the finish work on the inside of the hull under the gunnels.

Did the guys just putty the sides and smooth it out or did they use the outside of the hull as a mold to make the "liner"?

Bigshrimpin - more glass was added to the sides then "putty and smooth" as you stated.

To others who have asked specific measurement questions, I apologize for not getting those numbers to you but I ran out of town ahead of the storm and left the boat inside a secure building. I am now 500 miles from the boat until Frances passes.

A year and a halg ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Mark at the CSC/Dania Marine Flea Market gathering. While there, he spent about one hour picking through stainless fittings and I wanted to scream, "would you just buy the friggin' thing already". However, now I see why his boat looks as good as it does.....he took the time to do it right the first time.

Mark, congratulations on a job well done. Hopefully I will get to see it in person some time.
