I started my West River 180 last October and launched it four week ago. Winter prevented my from working on it. The boat is stable, glides for ever and wants to only go straight. I had to keep wiping off the drool from a friend who has a plastic milk-jug boat. Take your time aligning the panels. Look at the boat at different light angles to show miss-aligned panels. The raw wood panels may look fair but paint and varnish will magnify any mistakes.
