the Kit got sold to a buddy with a 40 Ford quite a few years ago...as for my first one that I built, I don't know if I'll sell it or not...just depends on how #2 comes out.... :thinking: Hopefully I'll git-R-dun for this coming summer but only seem to get about a day and 1/2 in a week plus some evenings... boat #1 is going to be sold hopefully this spring...guess I need to get it out and make sure the engine runs....Doug

I just drew it on the garage floor until I got a profile I liked, measured that for my frame and axle placement, built it then took it from there. The only thing I used were some ideas from this site that I particularly liked, drew my profile on a piece of plywood and started making sawdust. Everything else I pretty much made up as I went. Must have done something right cause the morning I finished I pulled it over 500 miles and nothing fell off.
