I don’t know Phin from Adam’s house cat, but, in return for the months of boat building porn that I’ve enjoyed in this thread, I’d really like to buy the man a beer (if he imbibes) when this piece of art gets wet.
WOW…
I went back and looked at the original picture just to refresh my memory of what you started with.
Amazing is all I can say about the progress you’ve made and dedication to this project.
Phin, thanks for taking us along. Also like to thank you, Cracker Larry, and the guys at Xcellerator for sharing the knowledge you guys have about boat building / repair. You all have answered questions that myself and others have asked and it is always in a knowledgeable and helpful tone.
Because of the information provided in this thread, I have been able to make repairs to my boat and add some small improvements that I would not have ever attempted.
thanks again and I really hope you get to stink up those fish boxes soon.
Looking good, otherwise…
