:applause: :beer: :applause: :wine: :applause: Nice job. Looks nice and stable. looks like it floats high enough that some ballast could be a good Idea. But you will sure be able to run shallow with that. Look out Mr. Redfish. when you get a chance, it would be interesting to find out what it weighs, but that is best left for when it is completed. Will you be out and about for St. Pat's? We might be down in time to catch a parade.

Looking good Rosie !

Do be careful on your 'sea trials', as that chine might dig in when turning under the trolling motor.
If you're going with a double paddle, it looks like you might need a long one because of the high freeboard, or is that just the picture ?

If we're nuts for building with foam, you're the nuttiest for building a boat with the stuff....

Do you have a video camera or a good video phone? I would really like to see the first cast off. It would make an excellent You Tube video. No pressure though. ;)

Too bad I'm still at work. My street usually floods during this kind of storm. I could be boating if I was home. :lol:

Hope you guys survived all the basketball fans. Jayhawks come in as runners up! Not bad for a "rebuilding year". Only had a couple of days rain while I was down that way. Cant wait for the maiden voyage.
