This is a very practical boat, with its flat bottom and ample beam. You have a good eye for a beautiful sheer line and those lovely curved topsides. That 'after' pilot house looks great and again it's very practical. I started building flat bottomed boats in 1973 and just finished restoring one I built 38 years ago. I'd say you've done a great job!!
Thanks Mark! Such kind words. I hear you get what I'm striving for. I've really enjoyed the process of combining practicality with beauty. The fact that someone with your experience believes in my design gives me alot of hope and energy going forward. Have a great day!
Thank you for the update, she’s really coming along nicely. And a special congratulations 🎈 🍾 on the birth of your son. That’s definitely not life getting in the way, that’s your son giving you life meaning. I’m happy for all of y’all. Great video, will be ready for the next on. Thank you
I am humbled and moved by your kind words. Like you said, he definitely has given everything a whole new meaning to everything. I'm glad you've joined our journey! Stay tuned for more. Thank you
Thank you for the update. It is good to see you are still making progress. Life does seem to redirect our plans every now and then, but that is what makes it interesting. Congratulations on the birth of your son. Best wishes for a wonderful week.
Hi, nice boat and project. Lots of progress. One question: What is your purpose of having so much open deck rather than making the enclosed space (cabin) larger?
Kind words, thanks! and a great question! Boating most of my life I put a great deal of thought into what I want. At least what I think I want. A cabin were I don't have to crawl anywhere. A cabin that I can walk around. It's so frustrating when you can't reach every part of your gunwale in harsh weather. An open deck is worth so much more then cabin space to me. I want to sleep in the cabin and steer from the cabin when it's raining. The big open deck can be modified to accommodate any situation. Lot's of comfy seating or even a full sized camping tent if needed. I've realized over that my needs change all the time. With this configuration I have a lot of options. Luckily I also think aft cabin boats look nice. Everyone is different, this is just me. Thanks for watching!
