Nice work! Isn't that the best feeling when it slides of the trailer the first time into the water and FLOATS! hooray! I will crack a quality adult beverage to commemorate your launch... I better wait until after noon though... ; )

Looks fantastic on the water! I am close behind you with my Don Hill also. I hope next week to be in the water. You helped me on a forum in regards to the trailer and that is about ready. I would imagine it is a GREAT feeling. How does it handle? Steve

Just think, if you wanted to build a 24 footer you wouldn't have to do any more scarfs than you did on that boat!
Nice Job. Any fish slime yet?

Quality work! I second all the other opinions. What's next on your boat building journey?

Right now my boat building partner is part way through another 18ft build. I am helping him out with that a little. Then we are going to start on a 16ft boat. Hope that one is done for early spring fishing next year. After that I don't know. I will probably take a break so that my girlfriend does not decide to take a break from me.

Very nice boat. Interesting how you hung the front seat. That is the right amount of scarfs for an 18' boat, it takes 2 as well for a 16 footer if all you can get is 8 foot ply. I would like to use this picture on the web site on our Gallery Page if that is all right with you. I have plans for a fish box that hangs under the front seat and pulls out if you would like to have them.
