: For me, there is beauty in a well-used boat. A few repairs, a few unrepaired
: battle scars, a spot or two (not the whole boat) of peeling varnish.
: Paddle scratches on the deck, rock and barnacle scratches in the hull, and
: an ear-to-ear grin on the face of the paddler. Gorgeous!

Good to hear you say that. You have a "work boat" mentality.
I have one now with SOF, but just couldn't deveop one when building
strippers. I'll bet that there are many builders on this forum who
spend months doing intricate inlay work, and have a very protective
attitude regarding their floating art. It would be most interesting
hearing from them. Hey Chip, what's your take on this ?
