My Redbird is complete, and I am very pleased with how it turned out. I couldn't have done it without the expert, generous help from the members of this forum. Thanks to all who replied to my posts.

Nice work, it looks awesome .... you should be proud of yourself.

The big question now is... when are you going to splash it and get to feel it pull under you, then let us know how awesome it feels to paddle that beast.

Jim: Thank you for the compliment, and thank you also for your help on this forum.
As far as getting it wet, my goal is to wear the boat out and have to build another one!

Cruiser: Thank you also for the compliment and your assistance during my build. I have taken it out with my son and the first comment simultaneously out of our mouths was: "Wow, this boat is fast!". The only issue I have is that it is a little "tippy". I am going to try to improve that by lowering the seats.

Again, thanks to you all.
