Thanks everybody!!! Your comments are very much appreciated. I enjoy building these boats but in NE Nebraska there is not to many that really understand what goes into making on of these boats. Alot of heart and soul and hours!! Knowing that other boat builders appreciate my work is compliment of the highest.
Thanks again
Ron
