Sorry the picture is a little blurry. It is a picture of a picture. Several of my friends that were out there said they would post their pictures on Facebook. I'll post some more pictures when I get them.

Your boat looks great, Rosey! Congratulations on your "first trip". :applause: :wine party: (Drink the champagne or "christen" the boat by pouring a little over it. Don't try to break the bottle on the foamie boat. HaHa!)
Thank you for sharing your build with us, even though we are a group of "land-ship" builders. :thumbsup: :applause:

Excellent Rosie !
Looks bouyant enough to float a whole lotta 'ballast'.
I'm guessing that trolling motor pushes it along pretty well.

Watch out for ice bergs!

Just when you think a problem is solved, an uglier result replaces it.

Thanks for all the positive comments!! This was an extremely fun project! Turns out the state is going to need their piece of the pie too. I'll let you know how that process goes. :)
Glen, I'm sorry you couldn't come. You might have had a difficult time finding me though, it turned out the EarthDay Festival was happening there Sunday afternoon too. On the plus side we were able to catch Rebirth! Gotta Love N.O.!!!

Took the boat out the first week of May while my parents were in town and went fishing near Port Sulpher. My Dad caught the only fish of the trip. The boat worked great!

Here are a couple of pictures from the trip.
