Our little girl Emma, loves to climb around in the boat and "help"! She really likes to get involved with the epoxy and "help" when I am laminating.

Are you going to make DeSoto? Maybe you could sell tickets for rides to help defray the resto cost. I`ll bite. You`re making good time and the result is a pure classic ,just better.

Yes, I believe I will! Thank you, I made it a point to overbuild the S_ _ T out of it! However because of the epoxy and eglas, & composite coring, it will be much lighter and stronger than the original, only because of the advances in technology and materials. The original was a real rough water beast! I am betting I am 1200 lbs lighter. The old I/O was 1400 lbs, & who knows what the old glass and wood weighed. The outboard and bracket is right at 500lbs.
