I thought that was an appropriate analogy on this 40th anniversery of Apollo 11. My own personal liftoff is that my wife, Lisa, found the money for me to order my boat from the gentlmen at Tatman. It is truly a blessing having someone that will indulge your hobbies and quirks.
I ordered the 16.5' x 48" inline. Was looking into the 17' but decided I did'nt need that much boat.Sandy was very helpful and I'm like a little kid at Christmas counting down the days to pick up the kit.
Anyhow my first of probably many questions is I'm looking at ordering either Brightwork or The Brightwork companion to help with the finish when I get to that point. Is one better than the other? I understand the Companion is basically boiled down to the main points is this right?

Let me know your opinions, Thanks Mark G.
