: Anyway, I spent the last two days finishing the details, and today I took it

: happy with it!
Congratulations, Dave! And thanks for the pictures, they're inspiring. I'm building a Sea Tour 17R and for a brief moment this afternoon the frame was complete, but I've taken parts off for a cleanup. I get the PVC next Wednesday, so I have the weekend to make the travel stops and the seat.
I'm choosing Hi-Vis yellow for the same reasons you did, and love your black decoration/rub strips. That's a very smart looking boat.
