Thanks Ray,
I'd love to come over and see your boat and go for a paddle, maybe in a month or so, give me a chance to finish it off....that is if I can keep it in the garage
I'm going to try and wait till fall before starting another, my family could use a break from the late nighters in the garage. On my next boat I would like to focus more on the workmanship and less on the decoration. My carefully taken photos don't show all of the...shall we say "character" that this boat has. It sure is a joy to paddle though!

Look foreward to meeting you
Ben Staley
