    Nothing left to do but build the boat. Hopefully the boat will start to take shape by next Friday. No more progress will happen until Monday(extend keel and add transom), weather permitting.

    Looking great, Hoyt. Seeing the forms in place really brought out her shape. Looks like she'll be a fun, uncomplicated build. :cool:

    Imagine. Soon she'll be finished and like Mannie, you'll be ready for the NEXT boat project.
    Maybe I'll offer to sell you one of my two Albin 25s. :D

    A billy joe shaver quote comes to mind

    "the devil made me do it the first time...
    Second time I done it on my own..."

    What a good idea !
    Hoyte can then fit them both sides of the hull (nothing says a motor must sit at the back) and he can steer one in each hand. It will make for better weight distribution and better steering.

    Some new photos: 3rd set of casters added per instructions of messabout to eliminate hogging of hull.

    What's with the dog Hoyte ? ! I bet it's something new to do with boating...




    OK, I get it. Note the dog's frown.

    It's wondering - NOW what is he up to this time... :eek:

    No, he didn't like the last boat and he fears I will make him ride this one, which I will.

    Thanks, Doug. I was spreading epoxy preparatory to attaching the plywood when the rains came. A shuckin' and a jivin' was I.
