: Manual? I don't need no steenkin' manual!

: Oh lordy, I'm havin' fun ragging on poor Mister Pruden. I ought to be ashamed
: of myself. Heheheheh.

: Seriously, I paid close attention to my manual when I built my first (and
: only so far) boats from plans, but only for the basics. I figured anything
: I wanted add or modify was fair game, as long as the modifications were
: not drastic. My boats turned out way better than I ever imagined they
: might, so I urge people to let their imagination run wild after the basic
: structure has been attended to properly. After all, half the reason we
: build our own boats is to stand apart from the crowd. So stand apart!

: Cheers!

: That ain't the standard-issue CLC Mill Creek 13 you're looking at. You bet
: I'm proud of it!

Kurt, why should you be any different than anyone else? *sigh* I get/have had so much abuse that it goes in one ear and settles on my poor diminished ego like lichens on an old rock. Hehe! I encourage anyone to modify if they know how to do it without compromising structural integrity. My second yak is nothing but modified ingenuity employed for my animal comforts. Now I need to figure how to install a beer fridge conveniently within reach of my soggy paws. Any ideas out there?
