Rosey, Thanks !!! It was really Great seeing you there !!! Glad you enjoyed it !!! We had a wonderful time hamming it up ... Just Old guys having FUN ... :D
It was enlightening , our brief conversation about the boat ... That started me thinking about how cool and practical a Foamie boat is ... especially around here with water everywhere ... :thinking:

I've continued to work on the boat, lots of sanding. Haven't really had anything picture worthy for a while (maybe still don't) but here goes anyway. :)

The rest of the temporary forms have been removed and the seat supports have been installed. I'm hoping to get the the angle cut on the top of the transom and get it installed tomorrow.

It’s Gotta’ float ... It’s Foam and Wood ... both float ... And now it looks much more Bayou worthy !!! I’d jump in that boat in a second ... :thumbsup: Lots of use for a Good Light boat around here... 8) Fishing , paddling in the park lagoon on Sunday , Evac, or merely going down the street to the convenience store for Beer after a moderate rain ... :o True !!! :roll:
