I was looking for a hard top for a 23 Worldcat DC that doesn’t have one and ran across Cracker Larry on another site. Good ol’ fellow.

The search function on that site seems to suck. Refresh it a couple of times and it’ll come up. It seems to show over 20,000 posts by him!
He built a mess of those boats for clients over the years and was a wealth of knowledge regarding boat construction. I met him at a boat builder meet up from that forum in Islamorada in 2012 when he and a bunch of other builders towed their boats to the Keys. He gave me a lot of advice on the GF14 I built back then. Great fella with lots of experience to share.
I just found that he had his OWN FORUM over there! Not sure if it was his before or renamed in his honor posthumously, but awesome nonetheless.
