Don't tell us that you're aren't just saying that because of the hull color!

Rivers around here still flooding so I haven't been able to get it in the water again. :( But did get the water line painted and the rubrail installed. Made her look a little more finished.

Few things in the world measure up to the thrill and satisfaction of boating in a boat that you built.

Really nice job! I can't even imagine the amount of work in a boat that size - it took me nearly 1,000 hours for my little 14' Zip!

The best part about a manual screwdriver is not needing to remember if you left it in reverse.

Completion is but one step in the process and not one bit more important than the others.

Hey Ray, CONGRATS! That is really a beauty...I sure hope you are bringing it to G4 this year, I'd love to see the interior and the whole thing in person.

Let's see...almost 30,000 river miles on the Cabin Skiff and now this...you remain 'the king' as well as an inspiration to the rest of us.

How cool, hopefully you and Vickie will have many years of happy boating on it....take care, man.
