: You'll proably hear it 1000 times here: "...no one ELSE will ever
: notice..." I had a hard time beleiving that at first, but after 4
: years or so here's my experience: I have the boat up on my rack and pull
: in someplace to get a cup of coffee (or to launch the boat). Within
: minutes there is a crowd going oooh aaaah. Lots of questions ("did
: YOU make that?...). I know every thing that isn't 100% peerfect, and feel
: a bit guilty taking praise (or whatever it is). A lot less so than at
: first. I have a boat I love, it is a dream to paddle, and it is, after
: all, a boat, not a museum peice or an entry in a master wood project
: contest.

: Everything I worried about during the building turned out to be a
: non-problem. Odds are quite good your experience will be very similar to
: mine. Enjoy the process, but most of all enjoy your boat. You will.

I understand 100% but I know it's there and I gotta do what I gotta do. Thanks for the encouragement though.
