Nice boat. I'd have had it in the water already if it was mine. I just never can seem to wait...gotta test how it sits in the water, feels, paddles. Have fun with your tweaks. I'm mostly a "by the seat of my pants builder"...having built only two boats from plans. All others have been from the tried and true "hmmm...let's see how this looks" method. Sometimes they end up under the classification of "hmmm....wish I hadn't done that", but other times it's "sweet". Just wait till you get your boat in the water. It'll be "sweet". Have fun.
