Looks like a great find, it sure sounds great. Cant wait to see it on the water. If the weather we had this weekend is headed your way you better get out there the next day or two.

I just watched the video.....cool!

I think you'll be grinning ear to ear when you run it.

Will you get to run it this season?

When you are ready for new decals,let us know & we'll give some sources

Warren,

I want a flight report when you take the skiff to water with all three going strong. Steering will be interesting!

Congrats Jim, you scored big time!
