    First thing wife said. Not, wow, the aramid/carbon feature is incredible. Nope, where are the cupholders she said.

    John,

    Did you talk with the surveyor yet?
    I think he's your best asset while you're still at the yard.

    I can't reach him for some reason. I check for him every time I'm there, and he's not returning my calls. Maybe he's on vacation?

    I'm jealous of that location, because you can chase salmon.

    Mostly cutthroat trout in our stream, but yes.

    How's the console redesign going?
    Did you look around the yard?
    Find any consoles you liked the looks of?
    Did you search out consoles on boats like yours online?
    Any word from your surveyor?

    I looked around the yard. There doesn't seem to be much standardization.

    With the spring, my surveyor is absolutely swamped with work. No time to talk.

    Did you gain any insight into size, proportion, layout, angles, volume, spacing, ratios... nothing?
    No standardisation, huh.
    I guess every boat and everybody's different!

    THAT's a shame. A huge loss. Tragic even...

    I'll need to build tread grids over these, but they'll make sealed buoyancy chambers.
