Thanks for the kind words Shawn. Your boats are top drawer too! I've been showing the other pictures of your boats, your rolling and up-side-down paddling to anyone who will sit still long enough and listen. My non paddling friends think it is the coolest thing they've seen since twist-off beer tops.

I have to hand the credit over to Rob Morris for the way the boat looks. He has been a fabulous "elder" in the entire process. As you know, I have been learning from Rob by building with him in his shop and using the materials he supplies. I couldn't recommend it enough for anyone wanting to learn skin-on-frame construction. I just wanted to acknowledge Rob for the quality of my boat.
